I agree! What we are experiencing is the death throes of American empire and exceptionalism. As happened with the collapse of the British empire, there are and will be death and destruction as the powers that be thrash to retain power and control. Meanwhile, the rest of the world sees clearly what is needed and necessary to thrive into the future.

I still have faith in a turnaround for this country, though what emerges will be neither imperial nor convinced of its own exceptionalism. We are resilient and have so many great people. However, I tend to be profoundly optimistic, so certainly could be wrong.

Trump's desire to "do away with" DEI is like trying to stop the rain by standing outside holding your hands cupped over your head.

Perfect. This will be quoted in future, I assure you.

Thank you Lucian!
