Our country is broken, and has been long before any of us were born. However in the past 8 years it's become more divided than it ever has been at any point since the civil war.

When our forefathers designed this country, they did so with the spirit that the people would run the country. They wanted all ideas to be heard, shared,voted on, and adopted or not adopted as decided by the citizens. However in the centuries that followed various interest groups have exploited loopholes to expand their influence and slowly take over the country.

We're now at a point where most Americans have no central viewpoint, because it's being influenced by so many differing controlling parties.

The only way for the people to take back this country is to patch those exploits, push back against outside influence, and end donations within politics.

But until that happens, our country is working as it was designed. Maybe not in spirit, but in practice.
