The American experiment has failed. I don’t see how anyone can argue that a country that elected a fascist game show host as president is anything but an abject failure.
There is not a single institution that is isn’t in a state of near collapse: health, education, the legal system etc; and one of our two major political policies is openly hostile to democracy.
We have an insane gun culture written by racist cowards who won’t go to a restaurant without carrying a gun. We actually have statues up to enslavers and traitors and people become irate at the idea we take them down.
Hardly a month goes by without a fascist terrorist incident.
Our Supreme Court is manned by the openly corrupt and yet Americans argue with a straight face that America isn’t a corrupt nation.
And then there is climate change. As the effects become worse and become obvious to even the most benighted corners of Red State America, the tensions will become untenable. Millions of violent, uneducated, but well armed red staters will be displaced.
Almost all of it can be traced back to American exceptionalism and racism, the cancer on our soul.
