    The so called American experiment is over. The result proved to be no different. The nature of humanity is perpetually fighting for freedoms.

    Their superpower was not their military or their economy. It was the mythology that they were exceptional people and the modern exemplar of democracy. For a while much of the world was to believing too.

    Canada’s PM Carney said it well. The world put up with them out of convenience.

    The Americans took that tolerance as a compliment on their brash attitude. They couldn’t adapt when reality diverged from the mythology. Half of them are coping by following the traitor into oblivion. Half of them are insistent reality will return to their mythological storyline.

      It was over when it started. The founding fucks idea of liberty was simply those with the money make the rules and don’t have to follow them. The so called American experiment has been a great success for the wealthy. You are just confused by propaganda that it was ever about anything else.

      The real news is the rot that exists in the US exists in every country. You can point, cry, rage, etc all you want about the US but it is coming to your country unless you have policies in place to reverse the wealth gap.
