This admin seems to have outdone any other I have lived through or read about. Failure doesn't seem a heavy enough word to describe the damage done. Recovery will take decades and many of us will never see it. Hollywood pumps out the paths for our fears to follow and somehow they almost become real on too many occasions. You are much better at connecting the dots than I am and certainly more erudite. I appreciate what you give us in your musings and look forward to reading your posts.
You mention that politics may be driven by tribal-loyalty that allows candidates and officeholders to say the most outlandish things. Somehow I think politics is driven by lack of rational alternatives. Have you heard a sane voice? So then we get to thinking, well, everyone has to follow the narrative to some degree. Sideways talking is the method to dance among a hostile press. And we have to be use to it, that he really didn't mean that, (what he said). The US is the land of the "least-worst" alternative. Vote for an idiot, only to keep the supposed satanic out. No new party, because that will let the wrong girl win.
When you say "pouring more money into a failed venture", that softens a killing-spree into just another business venture. Use you business smarts, when defining foreign policy. Well of course, selling armaments to all sides is a benefit for our unemployment.
I love these statements that take one side's policy as an assumed truism, “the looming threat of climate change” and people “suffering the effects of sea level rise”, or so many things about the "axis of evil". And plenty of extra adjectives to give some color to our adversaries. Of course, we understand you Mr. Newsman. We're up to date on your latest revelation.
These evident views seem to be accurate, with no relief in sight. It is sort of crowd-sourcing victim hood, crowd-sourcing negative emotion, or crowd-sourcing resignation.
Where else can you go with it? Bafflement, but knowing that you will pay the price.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.
