    Its a completely failed state.

    The institutions all need flushing out too, even if they do flush the current weirdos out.

    I don’t think that they can.

      This is what I think somehow a huge amount of the “good ones” still don’t get about the state of America.

      It’s not going back to normal after this, just because you clearly trump out and put some well polished suit in the office who talks nice.

      Until this situation can’t simply happen again whenever a sufficient cult of personality comes along, nobody is going to trust the united states as a government, or trust it’s institutions again.

      Whatever happens domestically within the US is pretty immaterial tonus all out here, you can all try to go back to normal, but the world out here is already leaving you behind

      Good luck

      The more I see, the more I come to the conclusion that balkanisation is probably the only possible outcome from the US’s descent into corruption and International irrelevancy.

      Flush? That implies water or maybe air. Neither are the elemental force of choice for the immense scope of that global waste mgmt project.
