Do you realize every generation has felt that "society is heading downward" because things aren't how they used to be.
Yet, for almost every example of something bad happening, I can point to something good and advanced that has happened due to progressive change. We now have technology in healthcare that has made life expectancy significantly longer than "back in the day." We can look up pretty much anything on our PHONES in about 10 seconds. We can do video chats from our PHONES from anywhere in the world. Back in the day, people used to be hung for being of a different color. Women couldn't vote, etc. etc.
Yes, change is troubling to many (and soon to be myself I'm sure as I continue to age), but I have to look at the several advancements society has taken along with the negatives and realize that as long as the world keeps turning, it will continue to keep changing. I don't much believe in the concept of any given President or individual "ruining what is left of our country." We've survived cheating Presidents, criminal Presidents, conservative Presidents and liberal Presidents and will continue to do so well into the future.
