If you could summarize the woes of society in the US with a couple of words or phrases, what would they be?

Corruption, Selfishness, and Mental Illness

I am hoping as government corruption and greed is addressed under the Trump administration, we can tackle the issues of access to critical mental healthcare, financial stability, housing security, and addiction treatments and to make Americans healthier again.

Corruption seems to exist at every facet of government, from federal level all the way down to local level. There are rural, disadvantaged communities in my state that even lack adequate public safety, facing dysfunctional fire departments and a lack of first responders. Sadly, so much waste, fraud, and abuse go unaddressed as Americans suffer.

Material conditions and power dynamics. It always has been and it will forever be Material conditions and power dynamics.

You do understand "Corruption, Selfishness, and Mental Illness" is all consistent with profit motivation inside capitalism. So long as we have to live with capitalism we have to live with Corruption, Selfishness, and Mental Illness because profits is above all else.

I'm not completely anti capitalist but it shouldn't be in our government. If anything our government should be antagonist abstical to the capital class. More things in their way the more they thrive from us.

Government of the people for the people. Actively unabashedly robbing the capitalist class with a laughing middle finger deal with it attitude. These are our people buying your good make your profits under our rules.

We in the United States of America have a transparent relationship with capitalism and it's even equitable. We are just lazy about it thinking it solves everything no matter who or what.

Like a fat lazy miserable dog who should be active hunting dog being pushed to the limits to feel alive.

Corruption and greed, leading to exploitation and mental (and physical) health issues.

However under Trump its probably going to be even worse.

Import Tax, Tax cuts for the rich, more fossil fuels, ... this would all lead to higher prices, lower wages, more natural desasters, more mental health issues from minorities and victims of abuse...

What "minorities" are you referring to? If you are talking about the illegal aliens, like many of the Mexicans, Guatemalans, and Haitians in this country, then yeah. They should be shipped back to their place of origin.

Otherwise, Trump will bring disregulation and more personal and business freedoms. Less federal government overreach, giving the power back to the States for many issues at hand. Safer and secure borders, addressing the mental health crisis, and taking a tougher stance on crime will be some of his key issues he will address. Also, shrinking the federal government and tackling fraud, waste, and abuse.
