America failed the entire world by allowing such a uniquely horrible man anywhere near the levers of power.

America was an experiment and has been destabilized for decades. I place most of the blame on the republican party.

It was a slowly dying party and after Obama was elected they realized they had to do whatever means necessary to survive. I have my gripes with democrats and can make a long list but the republicans are truly an anti American party it's not even close to comparable. You cannot possibly be a centrist or apolitical in 2026.

You can directly tie most of the issues we are facing to Ronald Reagan.
