U.S. Chaos; Political Deception & Greed

 “There seems to be a kind of order in the universe…in the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.” 
                                            -- Katherine Anne Porter

         This quote reminds me (among other things) of the chaos in the United States, which promises, at this point, to return to massive tax cuts for the wealthy (ala Bush/Cheney years which resulted in 2008's Wall Street meltdown, as well as vast income disparity). 
         Wall Street insiders are being appointed to cabinet positions (again, no more Trump "swamp draining") and groups are saluting "Sieg Heil", even though Trump has told them in his father?/dictator? style "Stop It."  Countless Trump voters continue to turn to Fox News because they think it's "fair and balanced."  
         And while the Green Party submits millions of dollars for a hand-recount in 3 key States where Hillary was predicted to win, evidence suggests hacked machines, and Trump won by a slim margin, one of these States has, of course, just ruled against a hand recount, which may have suggested irregularities.
