One problem with Democracy is that we get complacent. During the Regan, Bush, and Bush presidencies, I was younger, but also was involved in Marches, and political engagement. I was not happy with policies and decisions and made my voice heard. During the Clinton and Obama presidencies, I wasn’t in the same way. Yes I share information, and do the basics. That is not enough. Obviously a lack of engagement and a liaise fare attitude ends, like this. If you are a Republican, its time to hold your party to its core beliefs. You control the federal government, don’t let your party destroy this great country. Encourage your party to make decisions based on our better natures. If they get off into the Alt-Right agenda, its time to take them to task. If you are a Democrat, its not time to crawl into your shell and weep for the next four years, its time to take back the house and the Senate during the mid term elections. That takes work, energy and effort. Its time to pull up our sleeves and get busy. The country has not changed dramatically over night. What we heard is pain coming from many of our neighbors. That pain motivated them to vote. We need to get liberals, centrists, and regular run of the mill conservatives back into government.We need a center right or center left government.  Republicans and Democrats need to come together for the good of this country. YOU can make this happen!
