Yes it wasn’t pretty, but to their eyes it worked.

As a system for governing 330 teeming, factious, armed millions it’s efficacy remains to be seen. Eastern Europe had Stalin’s armies. The Eastern European crew survived Hitler and Stalin along with two world wars and the Revolutions and disorders between those wars.

The American crew went to college then into government. There’s a lot of townies in America, the mere appearance of which throws them into hysteria; that’s not a good portend for the future.

All excellent points. I think this bitter political infighting and division just becomes our new normal. The last eight years of Obama created Trump. Now lets see what the next two or four years creates. My guess is the return of an more determined Trump or something much worse for the left. JMHO
