Great discussion! The degree of corruption in and around the Trump regime is beyond anything we’ve seen in my lifetime of 75 years so far. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the consequences for all of America prove to be worse and more prolonged than we can know at present.
Using “corruption” as a conversation starter could be a good opening. It depersonalizes our present state of politics to something we have successfully overcome in our history. Greed has a personal moral meaning while corruption is an action that is subject to change.

Hope you decide to write that letter.
