I've been around long enough to live through several of the wars, assassinations, scandals, and other crisis situations of the late 20th century and early 21st century, so I've haven't thought of the United States as a perfect place since I was old enough to attend public school. It only took a few months of Donhole in the White House to make me recognize the greatest weakness in America's system of democracy: The whole damn thing was grounded in mistaken assumptions that the vast majority of U.S. citizens would always be intelligent, rational, and dedicated to protection of the values, rights and freedoms established originally in the Constitution and refined over the course of history.
If the assumptions had been correct, there's no fucking way in hell that something like the Waste of Shit could have gotten within a thousand miles of the presidency, much less taken control of an entire political party and made it the most dangerous enemy the United States has today.
There isn't a single thing in the MAGA Monkey legislative agenda that could make life in the United States better for most of us, but there are plenty of things that would make it a whole lot worse.
