Althea told me...
Well, as far as 'the experiment' goes, I reference the 'melting pot' theory.True. He's a fucking asshole and completely dishonorable. The man is the scum of the Earth. That said, the Trump years are proof positive that the Great American Experiment not only works, but is stable and robust enough to weather a fucking nutjob like Donald J. Trump.
The United States of America, a free nation of over 328M free human beings, continues to thrive regardless of electing a fucking moron as President. Unlike Euro Trash who think only Royal blood or a Politburo knows what is best; the reason the United States has survived so long and so well isn't because it was always the smartest kid on the block, but because it had the most heart, the most willingness to find something better, and because Americans really do give a shit about human individuality. The right of every person to be free to chose.
Given the divide in this nation for centuries, I'm not so sure it works. trump found a way to magnify every issue that was hiding just below the surface.
He recognized it with the birther ploy, and just tripled down as the years went by.
