> You can't expect your country to remain the same

Why would anyone want or expect their country to remain the same? Especially the US? There are massive problems here, with millions of people hurting every day. The current state of the US is not a nice place for tens of millions+ of its residents.

Stating that you'd expect a country to 'remain the same' is tantamount to stating you want the current horrible problems that presently plague our society to persist - with no action against them. That doesn't make any sense.

Things are awful right now. Thing should _not_ stay the same. Things should improve, and people should work every day to improve them.

This was the entire premise of the current president's platform; going back to before things "changed" and everything was "better"
