There is still just the smallest chance that Americans will emerge from what is coming with a revived sense of community, responsibility and a desire to see justice for all. Of course, it will have to get a lot worse before that happens..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I've stopped waiting for honesty from this "country". A huge body blow might or might not make them consider reality.

@Roundandroundwego You and I are not going to agree on much. For a start, even if superman showed up today and took over, america would still be doomed by its foreign debt and the hollowing out of the $US.. However, that aside, what sadly has to happen to reverse course politically is a major purge of the Trump administration and all those connected with the Heritage Foundation. Nothing short of that will stop them. Frankly, I think things will have to get much worse before Americans are ready for a French revolution style solution.. And even then, how do we know what comes next will not be worse??😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I think that only a surge in understanding and some actual learning by the population in the USA would end the current political stasis that they cling to desperately. They might have some idea what conservative think tanks do, they probably recognize their own policies from the Heritage Foundation, probably they know that's where their policies come from. They're not honest enough to vote, right now.
The rest of the world has taken a different path, different from the West. The rest is available to be followed. The West seems almost histrionic in its tantrums and refusals.
