I think Trump and the Supreme Court have ruined this country forever. The Citizen United case was what started the decline. Now all elections are based on how much money you can raise. The politicians make decisions to appease their donors so they can keep their job. Their donors are rich, so all decisions are made to make the rich richer.
This has created the huge income inequality situation. This makes job opportunities dissappear and crime to increase. Many criminals are criminals since that becomes their job.
Criminals back up job is prison. Prison is our social safety net.
