  As long as the status-quo Patricians that wield power through the stranglehold of money on the political system - continue in their efforts to thwart change demanded by the working-class plebeians, who have a propensity for voting against their interests, there will be further deterioration into a fractured and balkanized America.
  When people become disenfranchised, they then become angry and are not rational and seek refuge in whacky theories and demagogues. Trump is only the beginning. 
  As long as the media portrays those that want change of a corrupted system as "deplorable" citizens, to justify their unsustainable security state, the interaction between the government and the people will only get worse.
  Conscious and compassionate participants in change is what the future demands of us.
