Re: Trump First Term I: I for One Welcome Our New Trumpy Overlord
This country doesn't matter. America is not geography, it's an idea. If it flourishes elsewhere, those people are then the real Americans.
That's the thing the xenophobes and the white, Christian nationalists will never get. Those characteristics are common to everyone. All the apes that roam the world's shopping malls can say "I was born in valley x, I was indoctrinated by my pappy in superstition y, I speak language z." The differences between those characteristics don't matter one bit. Anybody who ever died for x, y, or z is just an animal defending its hovel.
The ideas make America. If this nation state quits, f-ck it:
That's America. Everything else is "Hurray for ME!" bullsh-t.
We'll have to rely on European scientists to come up with it. Science is dead in this country.

To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high.
