When Barack Obama said at his state of the union address that Citizens United was the single worst decision the SCOTUS had ever made, he was absolutely right. And he was heckled. He knew what it would lead to. Mitch McConnell around the same time said that who ever had the most money in politics should win. Coupled with the Electoral College and gerrymandering, you have a fool proof system for Republican rule. The bad guys will keep winning unless something is done.
Totally in agreement on Citizens United, a true curse on American values. I feel confident that we, like all countries to some degree, had corruption before, but to legalize it was over the top and just made it rampant.
Not sure that we should count on Trump's demise as the a reason for hope, as P.T. will put his V.P.t in there in a heart beat, and because he is smarter, will be 10 times worse in fostering authoritarian one party rule.
We are still 342.6 million strong. If we can unite, it's the end of the fight.

“Of course, none of this has any chance of happening...”
Full stop.
Trump dies, you get Vance. Hell, the people who own America now would prefer this!
The bad guys won.
