Donald Trump told a Florida crowd that it is “treasonous” to say the US is not winning the war in Iran. The US president was speaking at The Villages in Florida, the world’s largest retirement community, when he made the remarks. Trump came to tout supposedly fulfilling his 2024 campaign promise to remove taxes on Social Security. It came after the president told Congress that the war in Iran had already ended, despite his earlier issuing a fresh threat to Tehran.
I think America is too big and too stratified, it is no longer possible for young and interested people to guide the nation. Only aging people with great wealth can ever have a shot at control, and their beliefs are extremely dated by default. Also, our founding document is about 250 years of age, and wasn’t built for a coast-to-coast nation of high technology. There weren’t many democracies nor republics to model our society after, so we didn’t have much foreknowledge of the pitfalls that could happen.
Sheer inertia of belief, wealth, and flawed design, underpin America’s problems. Franklin Roosevelt delayed the destruction of the America we knew, and our modern political critters have squandered the opportunity to save the ship.
This America, is almost certain to die. The great question, is what things will replace it?
Probably smaller countries. Midwest is a country, southeast is a country, etc etc.
