Happy 250th to my American friends who saw the current fiasco coming a mile away. Starting in 2016 they knew it would be bad even if they didn't imagine how much worse it would be.
I want them to take solace in the reality that you can only properly repair things from scratch. You cannot do things half way which is why the damage needs to be felt by as many as possible.
What arises from the solutions to this current mess can only be better.
People who fall for cruelty will always form part of every society. Their personal troubles are strangely assuaged by seeing others suffer. As America continued its slide under the weight of oligarchy, many fell under the spell of a lazy populism from an idiot who promised to remove their ills. Regrettably many people are simple creatures who easily fall for slogans.
The damage from this second term is much worse than the first and the cleanup will take decades. However, if at the other end comes a wholesale reform, future generations of US citizens will enjoy a system which renews the dream of a free and prosperous society for not just the tiny few.
