This was the normal alternating of political power. Review a list of presidents from 1956 to now and you will see D, R, D, etc. America is a centrist country. When the power pendulum swings too far
to the right or left, it self corrects. Obamacare simply was the latest overreach. It passed without any
Republican support. Obama put his policies and legacy on the ballot and the voters swung the power
pendulum back towards the center. Parents, educators, and society have failed to teach the young
protesters that you don’t get everything that you want. They are not used to adults, authority, and
society saying “No” to them. Life is not a straight line. You follow the ups/downs and the twists/turns
as best you can, but you keep trying to attain your goals. Experience is a hard teacher, but these
difficult lessons are necessary if you are to become a successfully functioning member of society.
