This is the finest article (no idea who wrote it) I have received and read, with regard to America's current dilemma, situation, nightmare, whichever word one chooses to use. Nightmare works for me........

Growing old in an unrecognizable country.

Those of us who are part of the Baby Boom generation, now in our 60s
and 70s, no longer recognize the nation in which we grew up. We are
strangers in a land that gets stranger by the day. We believed in the
American dream. We worked hard, paid our taxes and obeyed the law -
even laws we thought were idiotic.

We married and had children. We struggled to raise families. Some of
us went to war, like our fathers and grandfathers before us. We
thought that when we grew old, there would be more for us – more than
alienation.
