10. Unfortunately, I disagree

I don't think we will ever be normal again. We are in a tailspin and it's just a matter of time

Why do I say that?

Let's say we elect a Democrat as president, they even get 8 years. They fix some things but the work and time and money it is taking are nearly overwhelming.

Then the short memories of a feckless electorate kicks in and and this country elects another Republican and they just tear it all apart again. Maybe even worse than before.

The Mango Mussolini didn't just break things, he broke how our government works. He broke the trust and faith people have in government. How do we recover from that? I'm honestly not sure we can.

I hope I'm wrong but I do think that, eventually, the country as we know it, will end and whatever comes next will begin.
