I do not agree that everything is OK. Everything is just as it was. unstanble. Chaotic. Primed for possible improvement, or decline.

Oh, I never said everything is OK!
I said the foundation is solid.
We’ve never been a perfect country and we never will be. Such a thing will never exist.
The biggest problem that I see currently is the tin foil hat crowd on the far right were empowered by Trump. But to be truthful, it is not all his fault – modern comm channels (internet, cell phones, etc) have given that crowd a way to connect better and whip themselves into a fury. Those two things combined to empower them. That’s not going to go away. We’re going to have to deal with it.
A leader of the Lincoln Project said as much recently and said that we were lucky with Trump because he was such an idiot that everything he tried floundered. He said we won’t be so lucky with the next leader that faction picks – they are likely to be smarter at hiding bad intentions and will be much harder to contain.
And before someone accuses me of being far left, I have similar concerns about the far left – those who feel wealth should be evenly distributed to all, that they have the answer to environmental problems that they want to foist upon the rest of us. Not real thrilled with them either, and they too are becoming better organized.
So no, things are not OK. They are better, but definitely not OK.
