For decades I've KNOWN that DC is fucked up... the Gov't is NOT serving the citizens.

But here's where FATE stepped in.

Instead of ELIZABETH WARREN winning in 2016 and breaking the wheel of Gov't to start fresh... Trump did.

I believe the Federal Gov't MUST be broken... and remade.

BUT NOT BY TRUMP.

The 21st Century model of US Governance is unsustainable.

The problem is... instead of making it into a new Gov't FOR THE PEOPLE... now it's going to be a gov't for the rich/powerful/well connected.
