I mean, really, just how bad could he be? We survived George W. Bush getting us into a needless war and killing the economy. I mean, Trump couldn’t do any worse, right? Right?<\/p>\n

But I stayed retired, quietly ranting to close friends and family.<\/p>\n
And now, after a year and a half of watching my country – a country I pledged my life to defend – be completely upended, I decided to come out of retirement, dust off the old soapbox, and rant like I never have before.<\/p>\n
