Things I Thought We'd Never See--Things I Though America Was Better Than, Smarter Than

I thought we, the US, were all smarter, better, more educated and so beyond the likes of Donald Trump-- and his followers. 
I thought we were better, far better than self-serving, greedy, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, white supremacist Donald J Trump.
I thought we were far better than an insurrection.
I thought we were far better than a treasonous, traitorous attack on our nation's Capitol.
I was so wrong. So very wrong.
