We are living in what I’ve been calling “New America” right now. Olde America ended on Election Day November of year 2020. All the things that have been allowed to happen since then, and remain uncorrected, I still find the list to be rather breathtaking, somewhat surreal.
The Republic is not dead, though. We are going through a temporary phase of experimentation. The pendullum has already began to slowly swing in the other direction, back to more logic and less emotionalism disguised as thinking. Check back in 15 years. Till then,stay watchful for nutty Dem behavior, but also find something to enjoy in each God Given day you walk this earth. Keep your sense of joy and humor always within reach.
Very glad to read your post.
