Every four years we get our hopes up, don't we? Reminds me of the second coming ... always "just around the corner", just wait for it ...
No,
we have to change the world, by being what we want the world to be in every thought, every conversation, every action, every word spoken. We must change our views, before the view can change. We all want to believe the problem is "out there" to the point that we don't do anything to change, because we don't realize that the only thing we can really affect is to change ourselves. Once we learn to shake off the old coats of automated emotional response, and triggered judgements, we become individually more effective more "awake", more "enlightened"; with this increased effectivity, we will begin to change the "view" automatically, with the little things in our lives. From there this change will begin to quietly spread; love becomes our driver for choice, and fearful decisions that keep us chained to their wishes dissolves and others' control over us dissolves with that.
The change we seek won't come from any politician, no single person can make this change, however, every single person
can; and when politicians see that we have changed, their "styles" will also be forced to change.
The reason why Trump won is because he was seen as "anti-establishment" - a perspective that those who have opened their eyes just a little , can relate to. This subtle change that is required is already occurring, it just needs to continue; Trump capitalized on that, but he won't
be the change, he recognized that it is occurring in us and used that knowledge to win an election. The good news is that this all points to the fact that this subtle internal change that needs to occur in the masses before real change can actually occur,
is happening.
