America can easily be broken. Well, turned into a more disgusting, more violent, more reviled version of a once-world-dominating but now second-rate country like The U.K.
The difference is it won’t take very long for that to happen to us, given our leadership and our culture.
On a longer time frame (but not that long – say, 40 or 50 years), if we keep electing “leaders” like trump, we could be much, much worse off than that. Our only hope of avoiding that fate is – and don’t hold your breath for this – for common sense to prevail among the American people. For Americans to stop believing the propaganda that tells them that “trump only lies about little things” and “trump is trustworthy and honest” and “Hillary runs a pedophile ring” and “Joe Scarborough murdered his assistant” and “Obamagate is the worst political scandal in American history” and “trump was completely exonerated by the Mueller report” and the million other emotionally-manipulative bits of propaganda that cause otherwise-normal people to support one of the most vile and incompetent human beings ever to “lead” a country.
