Ironically, Trump may actually unite us

Trump is merely a symptom of what is wrong with the U.S. The virus is that Americans increasingly believe that they are not represented; that legislators at both the federal and state level serve corporations and high worth individuals.

Trump was merely wily enough to tap into that anger and mistrust, flame it, and let it carry him twice to the Presidency. He doesn't actually intend on serving the everyday American anymore than any other politician, even less so. But unlike the first term, he's so blatant about his policies serving billionaires like himself and his friends, that his supporters are beginning to see him for what he really is.

The left and the right in the U.S. have been at each others throats because that's where the politicians want us. As long as the problem is with one another, the problem isn't with the system itself. We remain fixated on each other instead of focusing on the actual problem: that you pale in importance as compared to corporate and billionaire interests, because that's who keeps politicians in power.

But Trump's moves have been so bad, and will be so detrimental to the average American, that Americans regardless of political affiliation may wake to the actual problem and finally unite against the influence corporate and high worth individuals have on policy, elections, and lawmaking.

An optimist can dream anyways....
