A week from now this will all be over.

Looking at the history of America and overlaying it with the History of Trump, I dont see a real issue. The things that made America what it is, great or not, are not now and have never been anything to do with what made Trump what he is, no matter what you might think that is. There will always be the greedy and always be the ignorant. There will always be the fanatics. But the sheer weight of the American people will not be turned by such people..
Now America does have real problems and I am not saying it will triumph. I do think its best days are past.. But 20 years from now Trump will be a footnote and a bad memory, compared to the real issues.😷

Hopefully it'll act as a catalyst for the change that is sorely needed...

Nah, the best years aren't behind. Ok, so you're a teeny bit older than me but don't we [i]all[/i] think our time is the best time? The best music? The best people? The best movies?

Each generation longs for what it has had in those early years....

Things'll get better. Just take a little time, that's all...

@SammyJo I sincerely hope you are right. America the land is a very resilient country, in spite of what some people have done to it. And many people will have good lives there. Mostly those who will work and can adapt. Thats how America was built after all.

@whowasthatmaskedman The problem with America, and I speak as a person from the UK and we have had the same mindset, is that a large part of the population believe that their country is 'all that', y'know? They think that the world owes them a living....and, over time, the realisation to that population that they're not the big cheese anymore....and the country calms down....before the country can rebuild itself into a worldbeater again, albeit in a different way than that originally noted for....

It'll happen....it always does....
