First off thank you for a great informative reply. Thank you for your service also. It was not my intent, even though possibly sounding that way, to get off one's ass was a broad term and generalization of many that sit and complain but no action. 

Nobody is saying that Trump is going to magically fix everything but we need a tip of the spear to help highlight the problems (without being a dictator) and light a fire under the people's ass to take positive action. Changing the direction of the giant animal of government and the corrupt system takes time. Oh this shit ain't going to be easy but thankfully the United States has a Constitution like no other in the world. It has taken centuries for the people to understand it and the corrupt one's try everyday to remove it. 

Myself, I can do very little with what is left in my life because I've been battling stage 4 colon cancer for 6 years. 

Never give up the battle to uphold the Constitution, and remember your oath, I have. ;-)
