Unfortunately you’re correct.
Who would have ever believed government and these two political parties would become so corrupt, so bloated, so infiltrated with so many well connected entrenched wealthy insiders, it won’t even matter who the token head of state is. Add in tens of millions who should not even be here, and we get an electoral process which has been intentionally corrupted to the core.
We have reached this point.
My meaning exactly. The America I grew up in no longer exists, but even in 1960, when the Kennedys stole the election, it was on the way down.
