You make good points, Jessica Valenti.
"Through discipline comes freedom" -- Aristotle
Currently there is much tearing apart. Some of this is aguably beneficial -- to break things down so that we can rethink and reorder. Smashing the old that is clearly not working soon has to be replaced first by conversation (this includes listening to others views) and then the regrouping and recovery can begin. The discipline of thought and discussion is essential to building a new world that works better for more people.
The balls are currently in the air and that presents an opportunity to build something better than before. We all need to get a little outside ourselves and listen for good solutions to surface. All is certainly not necessarily lost at this time.
Perhaps helpful to remember that Donald is not what's wrong but he is what came about. I write more on opportunities in "Wealth and Happiness -- It Takes Two to Tango" here on Medium and Hearst CT.
