masses
*****

Not dodging the daily political nonsense, our "embarrassment", internationally, of the last four years (you should notice the word "***" also appears in that word) and in this country of electing a donkey  ( not really right as that is insulting to the donkey) will hopefully end in November, 2020. But the masses who saw something in him and thought there was nothing to lose, will still be here, with the same hates and attitude for the most part .  How to change them is the real dilemma.
