It is really mind-boggling to think that so many people who live right here in our glorious Pennsylvania were actually responsible for the triumph of our current president. I feel ashamed knowing that people I see and pass put the future of our country into this mayhem.
No matter how much you were disgusted with Washington or hated Hillary Clinton (for whatever reason), casting a vote for this simple-minded bully was not the answer.
A lot of us tried to see reason in your choice, benefit of the doubt, a vote against the establishment, even just reality TV junkies forgetting it is just staged persuasion. It is time to quit making excuses for all of you. Your reckless choice has turned us into a hateful society with a scoundrel at its helm.
To continue to give all of you a pass is absurd and as immoral as enabling an addict without trying to help him.
The releasing of more of the classified Kennedy assassination files really stirred my emotions. It tugged at my heart to remember how different we were then—the general feeling of well-being, pride in and love for our country and admiration for our president. The world envied us. Red and Blue were at odds but respectfully so, appreciating the differences.
I am saddened to see how far we have fallen, perplexed at the voters who denied my grandchildren that gratification, and troubled that our country will never be the same.
