Fed up with this country

I am beyond fed up with the United States of America.  Yet again we have a school shooting and yet again there is pushback to regulating guns.  What the heck is wrong with people in this country?  In a comment section, I proposed banning all guns except hunting rifles and handguns, and I was met with a reply that basically said I had no idea what the 2nd amendment was about.  They said it's so that in case the government becomes tyrannical we can fight back, essentially.  Um... what?  That has never been an issue in our country.  

I hate that politicians are more obsessed with power and control and winning than they are bettering our country.  Our two-party system is beyond broken, with both sides going further and further out, although I could argue the left has stayed closer while the right has become extremists.  I could also argue the left cares more about the country than winning (at least when compared to the right).  When a political party tries to stop the validation of an election by overthrowing the capital, you know you care more about winning than about the well-being of our country.  

The Republican party has gone too far, and if they are given control of this country, things will go south very fast.  Not that the Democratic party is entirely free of blame, however.  They aren't quite the Yin to the Republican party's yang.  Meaning, how bad for the state of our country the Republican party is, the Democratic party is not equally as good.  

I hate arguing politics online, yet I continue to do so.  To no avail, I might add.  It's pointless.  

So what can we do?  Hope for the best, I guess?  The best-case scenario is the Democratic party slowly returns our country to its former glory.  Fact of the matter is, even if given two terms, no president could right this ship that is our country.  Obama tried, and while he was able to do a lot of good things, our country was still left divided.  

Our divide has led me to consider possibly living elsewhere later in life.  Probably not, but Canada is sounding kind of nice about this time.  If our founding fathers could see our country now, they'd probably faint.  They'd roll over in their graves if they could.  

All we can do is vote in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION, and vote for the right people.  The people of this country need to vote based on what's best for this country, not name recognition or political party.  Also, people need to vote out anyone who has worn out their welcome in the senate, congress, or other office.  We need to impose term limits, or we need to vote out those who have been in power for too long.  

I hope and pray we can do the right thing as a country.  I hope and pray more and more children are brought up with better values.  I hope and pray my worst fears are never realized.
