Trump is harming the U.S. But we're complacent | Letter

I'm a Vietnam veteran. When I was discharged after four years of service, I came home to a country that was in an uproar over a war that was not popular. People demonstrated and protested to the point that elected officials began to take notice and a change came about.

Now, as a country and as citizens, we are complacent to the point that we don't seem concerned about losing our voting rights. We're not concerned about what Donald Trump and his lackeys are doing to the Constitution. We're not concerned about Trump's war, even though no end is in sight and we're losing American lives. But we are angry about the price of gasoline.

Our forefathers and the ones who have sacrificed their time and even their lives to keep this country strong must be shedding tears of frustration and shame as they see what has happened to America in the last two years. Is there anything that we have seen in this time that makes us collectively angry besides gas prices? I wonder.
