Is the Damage Permanent?

Nobody knows.

Without doubt, the damage is profound.  The world has recognized that the United States is being commanded by a madman and has abandoned its place as the leader of the world.

As we look back across history, we see a certain shelf-life to democracies.  It’s easy to believe that we’re in the final days of what became of ancient Greece. It’s also possible, as numerous scholars have asserted, that we’re on the precipice of the sixth extinction.

But it’s entirely possible that the pendulum may start to rebound toward the days of America’s greatness, the time of truth and fairness.

We’ll see.
