u.s .,: Kansas City and Years I

u.s .,: I experienced it during the many years I lived and worked in the U.S., first as a student at the University of Nebraska, in one of the most Republican states in the nation, and later as a journalist in Kansas City, smack in the Republican heartland, and later still in Washington, according to The Toronto Star. Evan Vucci / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS By Bob Hepburn Politics Wed., Nov. 9, 2016 I fear for America in the wake of Donald Trump shocking victory over Hillary Clinton to become the 45th U.S. president.I fear for America because Trump election, which most polls and pundits, including myself, failed to predict, has sharply divided America and signals a return to a sad, bigotry-filled time in U.S. history when it was seen by many as okay to get away with denigrating women, blacks, latinos, muslims and immigrants seeking political refuge. It has existed for decades. It also signals a return to a mean-spirited era where tens of millions of Americans will have no health insurance with the repeal of Obamacare, where a woman right to abortion is challenged, where the environment is at risk again and where police are given free rein to get tough on crime even though crime rates are falling. These fears are fuelled by the understanding that Trump has unleashed fully all the anger and frustration among laid-off Rust Belt factory workers, Midwest farmers, poorer, less educated and less urban Americans toward the so-called elites they feel are running the country and ruining their lives. And I fear the world is now a more dangerous place, with a crude and rude man who is totally ill-suited to be president having the power to tear up international agreements on trade and security, to order U.S. troops to attack perceived enemies and to sit in a war room with his finger on the nuclear trigger.
