These are extremely difficult times in which we live. Too many Americans are halted between two opinions: Multi-cultural Democracy and White Privilege Autocracy. Which way America? Democracy or Autocracy! Therefore, it can rightly be said that twenty-first century America is characterized by spiritual-moral confusion, and America is upside-down. Guided missiles and misguided men. Sadly, America is experiencing the bold and brazen misuse of governmental power, and grievance politics is on bold display. Grievance politics is about an open declaration that certain individuals do not matter.
Therefore, grievance politics is a recipe for societal chaos to the nth degree. Arrest illegal immigrants, deny them due process rights, place them in cages, and even deport them to foreign countries, not of their original origin.

President Trump’s political magnetism is conditioned by racism and sexism. Multicultural democracy is not even a side-bar conversation with the Trump-MAGA-Cult, because their objective is White Privilege Autocracy. America, it is easy to destroy institutional structures. It
is harder to strengthen and repair institutional structures. President Trump created a coalition of non-thinkers and non-readers that became the foundation of his return to the Presidency.
Prior to the advent of MAGA Trumpism American democracy was the enemy of the world community.
A vibrant multi-cultural democratic governance system that valued leadership stewardship; even President Ronald Reagan declared that “it’s morning in America, not midnight”. With President George H. Bush we got “Points Of Light”, because Jesus is
