Electing Trump would be confirming America's status as a failed state.
The Republicans Party has spent the last 40+ years chipping away at our civic body politic, that is barely functions as nothing more than conduit for the massive upward redistribution of public wealth.
We're pretty much an oligarchy at this point, masquerading as a democratic republic.
A Trump presidency will be nothing more than a figurehead, not to mention the irreparable damage he'd cause with the tacit approval of a gerrymandered Republican controlled Congress.
Can the course be reversed? Sure it can. All you have to do is keep Trump out of the White House and kick out the GOP majority.
Are we ready to do that?
It remains to be seen.
