What has happened to the USA has been brewing for 40 to 50 years
The concept of a public good has been replaced by a greedy selfishness of SELF concern culminating in Trumpism.
Locally an initiative to not allow ambulance service to those who can not pay was a big issue.

The toxic combination of selfishness, greed, and hatred has become the norm. "My own concerns are all that matter" is the credo of America today. Public good is out the door.

What has happened here is about who we are. Trump did not create this philosophy, we did.

Democrats are still playing the game on a Republican field.
We need to be more honest about who we are, who we could be and why.
