...for anyone paying attention-this didn't happen just b/c the mangerine was voted into office. The decline of this empire started much further back...how about the US bringing Nazis here for their technical know-how (after wwii-look it up); how about ronnie ray gun cuts to social welfare. It goes back even further, but that's not a bad place to start.
@DaV8or-given that I was providing examples that preceded the mangerine, you seem to have overlooked my point. We're on the same page. Only I don't think the supposed "leadership" of this country really cares abt the original ideals. the us is owned & operated by the likes of musk/zuckerberg/gates/murdock/and ever other 1%er with enough $$ to buy access. Profit is what drives this country now.
