The US has done an exceptional job of destroying itself.
The US govt. looks very untrustworthy, unstable, dangerous and erratic. I can’t think of a single solitary institution in America that hasn’t lost all credibility and there is no national zeitgeist whatsoever. None. The US population is rushing in no particular direction.
If there are any legitimate strengths I can’t see them and this thing is just another Pavlovian dog whistle.
“The US has done an exceptional job of destroying itself”.
None have ever done it better in world history.
