It seems that we folks who were young adults in the 60's and 70's learned how to demonstrate and voice our opinions. We learned that very well and we felt as though the rest of the country would hear us and agree. Well in some cases they did, thus many strides in civil rights for minorities and women. What we failed to see was an underlying current of resentment and hatred for the very things that we thought everyone wanted. After all they were reasonable, humane ideals, who would not be for them.
What we failed to realize was that there is another force that seems more powerful in these times and that is power and greed. When I have heard the elected white house guy (no I cannot call him Mr. President) speaking I have never once heard compassion for anyone. It has all been about what the "fake media" has said about him or the "useless" individuals he has insulted, most of whom he is not fit to lick their shoes. So, he is a president of this generation where many do not want to take responsibility for their own actions and would rather blame their actions on anyone but themselves.
I would have had more respect for this guy if he would have just owned up to his blunders and said, "Yeah, I acted like a moron, I have learned from my mistakes and I will strive to do better." But, no, every time he is caught at doing something it is someone else's fault. It is kind of like watching an episode of "Cops", you know the one where the person gets caught with the dope and keeps saying, "It's not mine, man."
So I suppose if we just consider the next four years an episode of "Cops" we can get through it just fine. After all, the bad guy does finally get taken into custody and right does prevail.
