Which one are we talking about? Frankly, all the ones I've had the misfortune of living through, blur together for me. It's not like any of them have had any different policies. How could they, possibly?
If any area secedes, it might be because of "The President", but it won't be due to any particular one.
The state department is not the same as the president. The previous president did not have a significant degree of control over the state department or any facet of the federal bureaucracy, in all reality.
Yes. This is largely the problem. Unfortunately, I don't think it would have mattered whether it was a left or right president. The side not in office would have done the opposite. Everything is a political proxy war right now.
I depend on many things that hinge on the right people being in power for all eternity, and so do you.
We've seen what the wrong people in power do. Mussolini, Stalin and his gulags, Pol Pot and his genocides, Kim Jong-il, Slobodan Miloševic. This isn't a statement about the current US President, but we depend on having right (enough) people in power in a lot more ways than this one policy decision.
All modern administrations maybe aside from Jimmy Carter’s have had shenanigans going on. None of them are clean. So it’s clear there will be lies from everyone. Some intentional, some mistaken.
That said. I don’t see a solution to this dilemma. It has no satisfactory solution.
Well, the last two presidents have been regarded as illegitimate and intolerable by large segments of the population. I'm not saying that's good, but we've survived it so far.
However, I share your unease, your feeling that Something Is Amiss.
