Honestly, what can be done to save this Country?

Take this with a grain of salt, I'm only 22, so this is the first time I'm seeing the country truly divided. In the late 60's the country was extremely divided, no? But there is no way that the country was even close to being as divided as it is now back then right?
I honestly can't see how WE are going to get out of this continual downhill slope that seems to be getting steeper and steeper.
We have some of the highest politicians in the land blatantly breaking laws and the highest justice department in the land allowing them to get off. We constantly have race riots or race related shootings. Our president seems to be stoking the fire on the race relations. We refuse to confront an enemy that has killed quite a few Americans. (ISIS) When we try to get tough with other countries they just laugh at us.
We have feckless, immoral, and weak leaders (if you can even call them leaders) who will ALWAYS push their own agenda. Right or wrong be damned. We used to stand for something bigger, we used to have morals and they have just completely been thrown out the window.
I was always told that no one person was bigger than America, because America is more than just a nation, it's an idea. An idea that the PEOPLE could choose their own destiny, choose the way they wanted to live their own lives. I guess I was wrong, I guess my mom and dad, and their parents, and their parents before them, and all the ancestors of my family that dates its roots here beginning in the early 1700's, I guess they were wrong, too.
Tonight, I weep for the America I was always told about. Have a good one guys, stay safe out there. We'll bounce back from this.

Wait until the Republican convention. It's going to get worse.

A strong leader that focuses on the good in our country rather than its faults. That would be a start anyways. Basically Reagan reincarnate.

There wasn't social media in the 60s. Been like this for a while you just see it more because of the Internet

Stop buying the bullshite you get fed from the second you wake up to the second you go to sleep on tv, computer, radio etc.
Refocus on the family unit. The family unit is weak.
Stop allowing the government to lure voters in with money to get more votes.
For starters.

Were going to have to stop coddling and celebrating bullshite bad behaviors. Get back to basics and individual responsibility. Which means we're fricked because that is not going to happen. Instead I'm buying more guns and ammo.

Cops have to stop shooting blacks. There is video now you can't get away with it anymore. I remember neing harassed twice and searched and cuffed for no reason while in college for being black.That shooting in Minnesota was just gut wrenching.

A good outside threat always helps. Prosperity and comforts breeds infighting. It's an old story. They've been trying to pump up ISIS but no one really sees them as an existential threat. Now, they are trying to make Russia and China the external enemy we need, but in truth, we are just too powerful.
We need aliens.
We need aliens.

Nothing, not enough characters on this message board to type the problems in this country.

Nothing. The media has the idiots where they want them and it will continue to divide the weak minded. All they want is hate and it's working.

Stop allowing immigrantion, ship illegals back where they came from, and slaughter of the thugs by police and military. In all honesty, I feel we are beyond help. SJW, Liberals, and the welfare culture have pushed us past the point of no return. God help us if Hillary wins b

Crime is just about an all-time low, at least since the past 50 years .

Get rid of political parties

In my humble opinion, its two basic fundamental elements.
Respect and accountability. And neither of those are racist terms. Its truth, and it applies to humans, not races.
If people respected themselves, and life, and others, it would go a long way.
If all parents held kids accountable for things in certain areas (white and black neighbhorhoods), they would learn that there are consquences, and that you should respect yourself before making foolish decisions.
But it seems those are lost, and often times, its because there is a lack of a male role model to enforce these basic fundamentals. Mothers love and nurture and are required in raising a child. But a fathers fear is what shapes a behavior, and is needed.
Again, just my humble opinion, and I'm sure I triggered someone, and thats OK.
