The focus, sadly, is on America right now as we slide into authoritarianism. I have always thought other Countries were more mature. They have fought hard for their Democracies. We have become lazy and arrogant about our Democratic rights and privileges.

We are a teenaged nation. And we know most teenagers go insane for a few years. Hopefully they survive to grow up.
Our citizens have never had to fight off an invasion on our soil. And now selfishness rules. Empathy is no longer trending.
Now we have been compromised from within. Putin is here. In every living room in America. On every device. He has been clever with his costumes. Lately, he has donned a phony hairdo, gained a lot of weight and looks a bit jaundiced.
Considering US had 1/4 world's economic power and a military bigger than the next 4 or so combined, is a scientific and technological leader, its political culture remains mired in pre-scientific religious dogma and racist culture. This is WHITE america in reactionary mode to society which has been moving toward a culturally and racially diverse condition. This is the first time I've felt a real chill about what the US is capable of.
America has been castrated by Putin. We are no longer capable of much either in the world arena or at home.
At age 75 I have always been full of optimism about America. Now I am just not so sure anymore. The 3 branches of government have been compromised. The fourth estate has been muzzled. The Democratic Party is wheezing. The only thing remaining is for him to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Yes. Hiding our heads under the blankets has not worked so far. Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, Harris and the other Democratic Party elite are experts at doing that. So sad to witness these people seemingly in hiding.
Because they considered Biden to be helpless to control high prices or the border. As he refused to listen to the 75% who said he was too old to run (thatтАЩs a consistent poll result over 3 years). Because by the last year of his presidency, he never had spontaneous sustained press conferenceтАФall his appearances were staged, with prepared remarks.
The very same reasons lots of white voters switched sides.
In my opinion there were a couple million voters who voted for Trump less to favor him, but as a way to fire Biden, his administration, and his VP.

"The fourth estate has been muzzled." Alas.
SSHHHHH!!!!

White America? Then why did so many Hispanics and Black men vote for trump?

Well said. We have our arrogance, our hubris, and our provincialism (narrow minds). Thus the "Ugly American" meme.
