Dear USA,

Donald Trump is exactly who you are.

Donald Trump is simply the #noFilter USA the rest of the world was forced to become intimately familiar with long ago; one dropped bomb and one lost family member at a time. The same USA Native Americans and African Americans have always known.

Until you fully grasp that and start learning about, accepting responsibility for, and atoning for how your country came to be and for your crimes throughout history both at home and abroad, this is what you will remain.

“This is not who we are.”

Bullshit.

This is exactly who you are and who you’ve always been.

You want to change?

Start by accepting that.

I'm 73 years old. What you are saying is not how I was raised. The people who hold the beliefs that you are outlining are in the 1%. Most of America is or tries to become what the myth is. We are fighting against our corporate overlords and always have been, since the first Pullman strike in Chicago.

@bardmoss It’s fascinating that 1% of the population was able to win Trump the popular vote at the last election.

I would use the word horrifying rather than fascinating. I never in my life would have believed that so many people would vote for the school bully. But that's what happens when you let the media tell lies and don't fact check anything, and when you let billionaires spend as much as they want. Citizens United needs to be repealed.
