    Gotta slow down before you stop. Once we’re stopped, then we can talk about reversing course. You ever try to pull a u-turn without slowing down?

        And if we haven’t made any significant headway on that front for the past century, how exactly do you plan to do that in the current election cycle? What method of changing minds are you planning to use to accomplish that?

        An imperfect plan today beats a perfect plan 10 years from now. Slowing down is better than speeding up.

          Nothing shows people how wrong they are than by giving them exactly what they asked for. I dont think trump is gaining popularity.

          Now how to change people in america from greed and selfishness? Need more than 4 years as we simply need older generations to die off naturally and take their ideas with them.

              Thats how people learn my guy. There’s a reason this type of societal stuff is cyclical. Everythings constantly changing, some are slower than others or need more evidence.

                Not really, no. People learn in incremental steps. You’re talking about the equivalent of tossing a baby in a pool and saying “If they drown, they drown.” Like sure, all the surviving babies will learn to swim, but I won’t endorse a course that’s so callous to all the people who suffer in the process.

                  What do you think slwoly changing america under trump has been? Incremental. And you’ve seen people change their minds over his presidency too, or at least be more critical which is the point.
