We won't if people don't fight for it. A lot of American history that is taught is white-washed bull shit. But one thing we were all taught that at least had the right idea behind it is that a generation must rise up to defend the freedoms that other generations have let be taken from them. The "freedom isn't free" crap that the right wingers like to say. Well, it's true, but they were never going to be the ones to defend it. Because that freedom was only an illusion in the first place and their illusion of it may never break. At least not while it is still easier to believe than it is to fight back.
We won't "return to sense" when the wealthy rulers of this country will always remain in power unless it is forcefully taken from them. Trump and his administration are not the end of this and are not the cause of it. They are inevitably result of it.
"Freedom isn't free" is a good response to any of your conservative friends or family that are going to criticize the actions of the people in the streets fighting against an unjust system of oppression that has reached its breaking point. Because, well, it's true.
