The American Experiment is Not Going Well (Part 7)

I’ve lived in the US now for 30 years. I came here in 1994, aged 24. I arrived just before the 1994 election where Clinton won a second term, but the GOP controlled everything else. The US Presidents in my time here are Clinton, Bush, Bush, Obama, Obama, Trump, Biden and now Trump.

For me it began with the right wing Clinton witch hunt. The Clinton’s were murdering their enemies. He got a blow job and lied, which was behavior of the devil and an affront to the office. I marveled at the hatred I saw in the few hard core conservatives I knew.

Then the Supreme Court handed a presidency over. After that, the passing of Citizens United and the unleashing of unlimited dark money.

Through all of this the huge right wing propaganda machine is like the air we breath. It has only gotten more powerful as the growth of internet unleashed disinformation. No two people with differing political views can agree on actual facts. It is unquestionably the right wing that refuses to recognize reality, preferring “some people are saying” unattributed sources, to vast and mind boggling conspiracies.

Then came Trump. A racist narcissist who simply ignores the law and if caught simply bogs the system down with legal fights. A man incapable of telling the truth. Now, with Trump again winning, the American oligarchs have also aligned their support behind him and he will be unfettered.

These “American Experiment” posts have been thoughts on the more recent developments, and as I look back to my witnessed 30 years of the decline of America. Its political system is fundamentally broken.
