True, but every time it seems to move a little closer...... not panicking, but I did have a thought today.....The Republic of the United States of America.....well...it was a nice experiment at least
I look at the US as an adolescent just getting ready for maturity. The promise of its birth is still to be realized. It had some good parents, the "Age of Enlightenment", a steady hand during crises Lincoln especially and now stands on the edge of making a critical choice for adulthood.
Trump exemplifies dissolution and the gutter with lies, corruption, privilege, chaos. Biden exemplifies a steady hand during a time of troubles as a parent and husband who has known terrible loss and disappointment.
The starkness of the choice is exemplified by the number of very conservative people wanting Biden elected and saying so publicly. They value virtue over policy and show that there's a higher value than winning a political point. And that value revolves around positive values such as decency and honor.
