I am sure I'll get an lot of condescending, sarcastic, know-it all, put me in my place replies to this, but I am absolutely SICK of people using the term "WE".

Our nation has been hijacked by a lack of guardrails on wealth, power and the rule of law and many of us have been objecting and/our fighting it our whole lives. Trump was not elected by a majority of us and I AM NOT PART OF THE GENERIC OVERSIMPLIFIED "WE" so commonly used in "who we have become", "who we are" etc. Fuck that! Excuse my rant and obscenity. It just makes me really mad.
