Well, my condolences x2 then
That's the bigger thing to have condolences about, honestly. In general, if you're rich and powerful, you can do whatever the hell you want in the U.S. and the law will be on your side. That's one of the reasons why it's so amazing that Trump was found guilty in the New York trial.
I hear you, well that’s just plain depressing, hope it changes at some point. Sometimes it has to get worse to get better.
When the illusion of a successful country dissipates that’s when the real changes can be introduced.
Unrestrained capitalism will never solve your country mounting problems that one I am sure. At some point the problems will become too severe to brainwash even the most easily influenced voters. As long as they have it good or ok, they can be recruited but there’s a limit and populism is inherently short-sighted and thus short-lived. It’s akin to burst of anger out of denial that can’t survive long in it’s powerful but unstable state of constant crisis. Trump is a harbringer of change and a proof that we hate changes but there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them and those trumps and such only accelerate the inevitable societal progress. I wouldn’t say let him rule because this would be unfair to many people but it will eventually pass and will be a building block for the better tomorrow.
There’s no power in the world that could bring back catholic medieval society at this point.
I hope so too.
