That is interesting way to view it one that I would hate aeegappen
Nobody wants to see that happen. But the governance of the nation seems to have turned to trivialities and ridiculous things. The serious statesmen that arose after the Civil War, WW I, the Depression, and WW II are all gone and nobody of their stature seems to be in government or on the horizon. Just look at the collection of bizarre Democrat clowns that are lining up for a run at the Presidency.
The issues after WW II were all about restructuring governance of some large nations, rebuilding Europe, fighting communism, and rebuilding the world’s financial system. Today it’s all about ending burning carbon, murdering babies, or the “civil rights” of fringe kooks.
I think the seriousness with which we govern ourselves is inversely proportional to our wealth and leisure time.
