It was more the idea that WHO back in that time could ever have conceived of someone like tRUMP EVER getting in as POTUS.

They prepared for many kinds of problems, but DEPENDED on WE THE PEOPLE to NOT allow such a thing to happen.

AND I trust the "country folk" that live a simple life a lot more than the "rich folk" that are Oligarch inclined.

It takes ALL of US that believe in DEMOCRACY to keep it going and only a FEW of the people at the top of the financial chain to wreck it for everyone. Not all rich people are bad, but the ones that are have too much power over the rest of us because of Citizens United.

A lot of people have different ideas of how to bring up children to respect law and order and have manners, but I have had to confront my own son about how INEFFECTIVE yelling is because his kids are yelling back at him and still not internalizing what he is trying to teach them.

Somehow my efforts failed because as a teen he dumped everything I taught him and decided he knew it all. I failed. He's drinking the MAGA koolaid. All I succeded in was getting him to 18 alive, talking him out of suicide and having him live with the only babysitter he ever listened to during high school. He managed to trash that too. I taught him to think for himself, so he's decided whatever I think must be wrong.

So if I over reacted and took your words personally, I apologize.

Peace.
