    His legacy will have been that of having been the biggest embarrassment in American history.

      It will be (and already is) much, much worse than just an embarrassment.

        We will be lucky if we have a democracy after his term.

        It looks like he’s reforming the government so that it follows the dictates of the President who is wholly owned by the billionaire oligarchs of the world.

      Probably not if there is another civil war or the nation balkanizes.

        That civil war is a few years late.
        Not going to happen, everybody’s glued to TVs and social media, too bothersome to get out of the couch and do something.

          Yeah. I listened to an episode of ologies about this.

          Age is a big part of it. Like no one over 30 wants to risk everything for something they believe in.

          The average age is older than it was in the civil war era.
