The problem is so much larger than one elected official, than one political party. If you still think that removing one person from office is going to “turn around the country” you are terribly mistaken. The problems we have in this country are going to take generations to fix and it all starts with relearning what a “good American” really means.
It all begins and ends with morals, a personal guiding star. Morals of the individual have a direct effect on the culture of a civilization and therefore directly upon the government of that civilization. Without the ability to know right from wrong, not what you perceive is right, but actual good from evil, then you will end up being governed by those who also don’t know good from evil. All they’ll have to guide them are their wants and desires instead of a higher ideal of what a “good American” is supposed to be.
To begin with, It is evil to steal, kill, covet your neighbor’s wife or property, and to treat others in a way that you yourself wouldn’t be treated. Respect and love those with which you don’t agree. Violence is not an answer, it is only an option when there are no other options left.. and then only to defend yourself.
Liberty can be enjoyed by all, by it can only be defended by the moral. If a civilization is free but full of amoral people then you will end up with an evil nation where any manner of tyranny or despotism can flourish. In such a society freedom won’t last long.
The only way to create a long lasting peaceful nation where Liberty is enjoyed by all, and everyone can pursue their happiness, then the majority of the populace must be a good and virtuous people. If not, then that nation can only consist of one of two things: Anarchy or Tyranny.
Until we fix ourselves.. no amount of violence or voting .. is going to fix the nation.
It all begins with you.
