We have become a sadder,

meaner and more pessimistic

country; public discourse has

become more negative now

than at any time since 1850. . .

Sixty-nine percent of Americans

admit they do not believe

any more in the American dream.

Trump is nihilism personified,

with his assumption that

morality is for suckers,

life is about power, force, bullying, & cruelty.
