We say that every election. America will still be humming in 2100 while we are dead.
No. The lesson of history is reversion to the mean.
I used to think that America was strong enough to withstand a poor President and continue. Now after Obama, Clinton and Biden she has been brought to her knees.
Our institutions are debauched, justice is politicized. Political prosecution is endemic, Jan 6th imprisonments & railroading of innocents is the sign of a banana republic, no bail is the sign of the rule of thugs. Voting is corrupted so that we cannot rest in the expectation that elections are the voice of the people. If you think we are not on the precipice perhaps you are not willing to look around you.
