Both my dad and my mother-in-law/father-in-law give me a window in the perceptions of the older generations. They are right in the older demographic conservative voters that are capable of having hope that "Trump is going to get things done and fix America."

I wish I could share that optimism. But I cannot, knowing what I know of our country and understanding that unlike them, I am going to have to face whatever happens to the US in the coming years of hard times.
