Presidents can work with Congress to pass laws that last more than 4 years. We used to do that kind of thing around here but now that it's all just a big game open only to the outrageously wealthy, tit for tat and I got mine are the norm. There is no path for progress in that system. We must return to the old way of doing things where the executive and the legislature work together on the critical items that cannot be solved for in 4 or 8 years.
You know that time of stability a few decades ago when tens of millions of Chinese were starving to death and being massacred in the Cultural Revolution.
Imagine if Trump pulled young men's name from a lottery and forced them to go shoot people on the other side of the Earth in defense of "capitalism".
That is literally what my father and his friends dealt with as young men after dealing with the Cuban Missile Crisis as children.
I only dealt with this one time in 1st grade. Air raid drill, get under the desk kids and cover your head to practice in the event the Russians drop a megaton h-bomb on the school.
Or the stability of WW1 or WW2?
1990 to 2020 was a wonderful time, I feel so lucky to have lived my life then but that was a completely abnormally calm time in history.
