Actually I think it's fairly simple.

One of the early generals that Trump fired - first election - described him as a man of limited comprehension and questionable character. That's been pretty accurate.

We need to elect politicians with the qualities anticipated by the founders of the Constitution. People of comprehension, high character, and devoted to their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Very few of them today in the Congress and Administration. Or Supreme Court. We've lost our character.

Voters have voted their anger, their lack of knowledge, and their feeling of being ignored and left behind as the gap widens between the average citizen and the upper wealth classes. Meanwhile, those upper classes have taken advantage of politicians willing to sell their character, and oath, for reelection money that can only be described as bribes. Everybody looking after their own angers and incomes, few watching out for the USA. Trump et al have recognized this, and taken advantage of it. Promise what people want. Take advantage of position to look out for themselves.

I wrote and posted long ago that the voters must encounter the results of their self-centered actions, and realize they are not really in their self interest. And it must last long enough, and be severe enough, that eyes would open and people would return to what's best for the country. And, ultimately, themselves.

We need politicians with the guts to uphold their duties and oaths. And the guts to address the income disparity between the upper wealth and themselves. And included are those of us more fortunate to do the same and vote for what's best for our country.

That's against basic human nature, to watch out for ourselves first. So we need leaders that can inspire all of us to do better.

It's hard to find those these days.
