Luuk Hulsman you are right, but you need to understand why. There’s been a slow walking “plan” if you will to transport jobs away from America that only benefits the CEOs & CFOs of corporations. Additionally, there’s been an on-going threat against quality public education that leaves large swaths of the country rather stupid about history, civics, economics, politics, etc. then you have for-profit health care that translates to declaring bankruptcy if you want to live, or, you die. Now add in low paying jobs like Landscapers, construction, nannies, elder care that employers are hiring illegals for. On the other side of the spectrum, the H-1B and L-1 visas allow high tech companies to hire engineers from foreign countries at 1/2 the wage, laying off American engineers within our own country.
This all accumulates into a large block of the population that doesn’t understand that our leaders are corrupt in favor of the very wealthy and Wall St, at the public’s expense. So, what happens? Republicans sow fear into the population against each other and the rest of the world to deflect from the real culprits, the corporations that pay $$$$ to campaigns to keep these corrupt politicians in power. America is decaying in front of our eyes. This again, is very dangerous for the world, because America could (and will) do a lot of damage as they are declining.
Fortunately for my family; ALL of the grandkids are living outside the USA.
But what about every other American family? We are being manipulated by the very wealthy and 40% of Americans don’t understand what’s really going on, so they are afraid and angry.

Luuk Hulsman I know that my nephew who is Norwegian had a bank account opened in his name when he was born and $$ was added to it every year as he grew up. Now that he is 18, he has $$ for college and can choose which one he wants to go to, and it’s paid for. I know that parts of Oslo, you cannot drive a car unless you pay at every point, making traffic jams disappear. I know that taxes are high, but there is health care, education, and job security it pays for. I know that any Norwegian can easily drink me under the table!
But seriously, most (northern) European countries are Social Democracies. You can open and run your own business, or choose to work for a company. Taxes are paid for all social services; education, health care, infrastructure, security, there is paternity/maternity leaves, sick pay, communication, etc. There is a more holistic approach to governance, with a highly educated public keeping a very close watch on its leaders. With multiple parties and usually parliaments. Yes?

Is our lying president psychotic due to a venereal disease? Neurosyphilis symptoms include coordination, irritability, loss of ability to concentrate, delusional thinking, and grandiosity. Memory, insight, and judgment can become impaired. Insomnia may occur. Visual problems may develop, including the inability of pupils to react to the light. This, along other ocular pathology, can result in photophobia, dimming of vision, and squinting. All of these things have been observed in Trump. Does the guy have advanced stage SYPHILIS?
