As for here, the great distance we have fallen from the founding principles and ideals to this point with Benedict Donald

As for Latin America -- I keep thinking of what i'm hearing of those seeking asylum, particularly from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras ... reading that in one of these countries, I forget which (probably all three, but I remember reading about one), the gangs are in control of the local and city governments. And total chaos. Anyway, I'm used to these countries being ripped apart during civil wars, but it is horrifying that this seems to be the relative peacetime norm too.

I wonder if Mexico is next -- it's certainly pretty bad with the cartels, but so far not what I'm reading about Central America, but is scary -- WHAT MAKES US NOT NEXT?! given the great distance into shitTrumpistan that we have traveled in 2 1/2 years?
