      Maybe you and the decent ones could come over here and we’ll send out crappy ones over there. Or vice versa!

      Or fuck it, we’ll all go beg the scandi countries to take us in. Way crazier stuff is happening right now.

      We were for 200 years, but then Nixon happened, and instead of fixing it, we doubled down with Reagan, then instead of fixing that we got here.

        Civil war happened, and we didn’t fix it because Lincoln was assassinated, and Andrew Johnson was pro-South.

        We were on this path before Nixon.

          That shit already started with Washington, the first american conspiracy theorist poisoning the ideological well of the nascent country by cautioning against enemies from within and without trying to undo the country instead of appealing to the coherence of a newly forming society.

            Correct me if I’m wrong, but haven’t we just experienced the results of enemies within? Trump, Vance, and Musk are all American citizens.
