The idea that the political discourse will improve at all is, to say the least, far fetched. The American populace is, to a gravely large degree, ignorant of history. Profoundly gullible. Self serving and able to perform incredible feats of moral ( or amoral) mental gymnastics. Or worse. If such a large chunk is chronically and deliberately determined to support amoral politicians, there really is no solution. Add social media to the witches brew ( which is here to stay) and you have an endless buffett of shit sandwiches . Sorry to be so cynical but every day gets worse. Having a moral compass is a quaint notion. For many. Too many I fear. An unquenchable thirst for power and subjugation of ‘ the other’ is no way to run a country.
