Some reasons America is so fouled up

• A president who is a liar, megalomaniac, incompetent, and  prejudiced against.women and ethnic minorities
• A government without respect for existing laws and the Constitution
• A government that fails to carry out existing laws.
• A level of public prejudice unseen since befor the civil rights movement
• A Senate run by a Dixie Republican representing worst southern values
• A Supreme Court disintegrating with bad appointments
• A government that places coziness with global thugs such as those running Russian, Saudi Arabia and North Korea over good relations with our allies and respect for international agreements.
• A stunning indifference towards needed public works including transportation.
• A news media that fails to point out when the president and other government official lie
• A national news media that has become powerful enough that it primarily relates to the powerful in Washington, ignoring what is going on in the rest of the country.
• A news media that gives excessive coverage to the propaganda of the powerful while little to the facts.
• A news media that ignores the wise and informed such as professors, authors, and ministers who are not evangelical
• A news standard that would give Martin Luther King Jr and Ralph Nader little coverage if they arrived on the scene today.
• A school system that has degraded history and civics, so that many citizens never effectively learn, for example, about democracy, segregation or Nazism.
• The replacement of the wisdom of philosophers, professors, ministers, and writers with the lies and misguided statements of public and corporate officials. 
• The rise of corporatism in a nation that now produces 200,000 MBAs a year as opposed to 5,000 in the 1950s. 
• /The replacement of community based corruption in politics with propaganda based corruption in no small part using TV. 
• An emphasis on atomized cultural identity combined with an indifference towards cross-cultural coalitions that used to produce real change. 
• A rise in college graduates (9% in 1965m 34% in 2017) which for all its virtue has also produced an elite far better at analysis than effective action. 
• Too many police who treat the people in communities they were assigned to protect as adversaries.  
• An electoral college that that elects as president a candidate who got 2.8 million less votes than his opponent.
• A Senate in which half the population of the country has only 18% of the votes
