It used to be the case that America displayed itself on the global stage representing power, courage, resolve, and an impenetrable bond to the values of its Constitution.
Today, it displays weakness, division, and an embarrassing demonstration of circuslike behaviour. I don't even recognize my country any longer. I know that many people around the world feel the same way. It has left me fearing for our collective future-regardless of who takes over in the White House.
We got here, in an incredibly short period of time-coinciding with Trump's descent down that escalator in Trump Tower in 2015-not only because he masterfully and demonically stirred the experimental melting pot that we call America-but because so many Americans have failed themselves. It is one thing to send a man like Trump to the Oval Office perhaps not truly understanding his DNA. But Americans do understand that now, and half of them remain ready to send him back! The Cult of Trump is filled with people who believe in conspiracy theories (and the other manure that comes with Trumpism), too many who have failed to question what they are told, and tens of millions who are too lazy or incapable of doing the work necessary to qualify as informed voters.
