Attacks on our universities and education system. The decimation of the civil service which is designed to protect Americans. Attempts to control what gets into the news and the news outlets themselves. Leaders appointed who, as my grandmother said, barely know their arses from their elbows. Judges appointed by both Republican and Democrat administrations under fire. The generals in key defense appointments sent packing. Allies and friends treated with disrespect and blackmailed. People treated like animals herded by armed men with covered faces because they might be illegal but who have done nothing wrong. A mad entrepreneur who personally wants to repopulate the planet and Mars. A ketchup throwing leader who really ought to be in prison for rape calling people names and playing golf most of the time. (He is clearly not a violin player.) What on earth is there to worry about in the good old USofA! All is as it should be. Civilizations come and go of necessity, so we may as well all enjoy the ride.
