Trump Exposed What America Always Was

[Escape]

9. Kurt Anderson, in his book, "Fantasyland"....

provides an entertaining and frightening look at about 500 years of American history. We sometimes forget the long period before the "Founding Fathers" came on the scene.

Our history is a wild misadventure of religious fanaticism, hucksterism, greed, conspiracy theories, racism and illusion. That's who our forefathers were. Trump, encompassing all of those traits and ideals, is the current culmination of our inevitable destiny.

Fortunately, there has always been a fair representation of "good guys", like the current Democratic Party, in place, to try to fight the abuse, unfairness and insanity of the "bad guys".

I don't know whether to feel comforted, or disappointed by Anderson's book but it serves as a great education in an American history not taught in the classrooms..
