Thanks for that. Good perspective.
“The US has tremendous strengths and, with the right leadership and policies, a bright future as well”.
That is the key.
Doubters should consider the consequences of the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 as a compelling example of how the right leader and policies can change history. In less than a decade, the US went from Carter as president, faltering and humiliated by Iran, to triumphant under Reagan, with a revived economy and military, a national sense of confidence, and on the cusp of victory in the Cold War.
