It's still like a dream/nightmare, even though we've been living through it for years now.

What Trump, Putin and GOP did to our country is just so crazy—I can't believe it got as far as it did.

Even though it looks as though there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, if I pause to look at the big picture it seems so unreal to me.

Somehow, our country needs oversight—or something!

We will need to patch up the holes that Putin and the GOP found in our system of government when we make it through this.

I don't know how things run in DC, but I'd guess we need to get rid of the electoral college system, go back to paper ballots, make ALL money in the government transparent (including candidates previous years' taxes) and kill Citizens United.
