  2.  @virtuerse  I'm actually Australian, but went to college in America. I did engineering but a bunch of my frat brothers were pre-law and gave me an interesting education in the US Constitution. We used to argue endlessly over what system was better. 30 years later I am convinced they were right and that's not easy to admit. I honestly believe the the US Constitution is one of the greatest achievements in human history and Donald Trump just proved it. Every attack he made, every lie he told and every attempt to undermine it and HE STILL LOST - the system might be battered and bruised but it survived. BUT (and here is the real issue) America is not yet out of trouble. In engineering we do a thing called Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Its where we don't jus accept something failed but work out what was the thing started the process off that eventually lead to the failure. In the simplest way America right now has 2 huge problems - the money in politics and a dysfunctional congress. The Wall St issue is well known, but the dysfunction of congress is way more subtle. As an outsider (with some knowledge) the real problem is Mitch McConnell. Wall St. is obvious there's too much money on politics and that's not an American thing that's rampant across the Western World, its just America has (like COVID) got it worse than the rest of us. McConnell is the bigger problem. My frat brothers argued that America could never be undermined or be taken over by a dictator because of the system of checks and balances." The Senate is what it is with 2 from each state for the very reason *its not there for policy. Its there to assure every state that they have equal rights and that nobody can get to big that they lord it over the rest. But neither my frat brothers or the founding fathers anticipated Mitch McConnell. He has flipped the Senate from a body that checks the Presidents Appointments are sound and capable people, that checks the House have written sound and fair laws and perverted it into his own power palace where he dictates policy. Lets not forget how Mitch stifled the Impeachment trial or how he pushed through Amy Barrett. Those people appointed to the FCC, EPA, Education and other places were all approved of by McConnell. But most of all lets not ignore that the SCOTUS he stacked gave America "Citizens United" that basically let Wall St. have free reign over American politics. Its called "Root Cause Analysis" and it leads straight back to Mitch McConnell and the power structure around him. Worse what he has done stacking the courts can't be easily undone. Just know one thing - the American people do have friends in the world and we do want to see you get back on you feet. Those of us with brains realise that we can't deal with many of the issues we face without America functioning as a responsible nation.
