America is an imperfect country, but one with great potential. And we keep stumbling forward, toward a better version of ourselves. This in spite of our own oligarchs, Christian nationalists, white supremacists, and general malcontents, as well as meddling from outsiders in third-rate kleptocracies like Russia. Right now we are in a critical moment. Putin's lackeys are using the relatively new technology of social media to stoke the fires of discontent. A quadruple-indicted wannabe dictator menaces our electoral process and other democratic institutions. Many citizens are confused by the torrent of lies from Fox "News," One America "News," "News"max, and Putin's personal a-hole licker Tucker Carlson. But many more Americans are NOT fooled by these demagogues, and still believe in the American experiment. We will not go down without a fight. Meanwhile, back in Russia, things are looking bleaker every day. Putin is so weak he has to murder his political rivals in order to remain in power. The Russian army cannot even afford to feed its soldiers, who literally go begging in the streets.

"one with great potential" - so great that you have stumbled from valiantly fighting & helping to defeat fascism in 1945 to now openly embracing it irrespective of the political party in power in the USA. . . Your stupidity knows no bounds!
Potential is meant to be achieved and surpassed, not disregarded and openly mocked as a path to weakness.
"Many citizens are confused by the torrent of lies from Fox "News," One America "News," "News"max" Confused? Allow themselves to be lead in to a state of blissful wilful ignorance might be a closer interpretation?
You really think anyone, even the most stupid of morons, could actually believe the verbal diarrhoea squitted forth by those outlets?
@LenHazell53 An elderly gentleman, a friend of the family since before I was born, who had a distinguished career in the US foreign service as a high ranking diplomat (he served as consul general in a number of countries), who speaks several languages, is also a die-hard Trump supporter. He apparently believes the nonsense that Trump daily vomits forth. Incredibly, he drank the Kool-aide, and is now in the thrall of a personality cult. It's hard to fathom, but there it is. The guy may be an idiot, but he's not stupid. He watches Fox "News" religiously, and is apparently unaware the they had to pay Dominion Voting Systems $780 million for defamation (lying that there was rampant fraud in the 2020 election). If you or I were to try to tell him, he would simply dismiss us as crackpots. I think it's more than willful ignorance. It's something more akin to mass hypnosis.
"God created Man in His own image—and Man, being a gentleman, returned the compliment."
Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Inherit the Wind
The quote holds equally true for political fanaticism and the apotheosis of their leaders.
@LenHazell53 If I recall correctly, Inherit the Wind was about the Scopes trial, right? I think the authors were trying to thread a needle with that creation quote, if indeed it didn't come straight from the court transcript. There is voluminous evidence that the second part, about man creating gods, is true. But there is no evidence at all to support the other assertion. But it makes for entertaining dialogue. Do you remember who said it? William Jennings Bryant or Clarence Darrow? It sounds more like Darrow...
@Flyingsaucesir
It was Bertram Cates (John Thomas Scopes himself), The priest's daughter his fiancé is forced to quote it in court
Ohhh, big leather seats on a private plane, and plenty of food, for some terrorist being compared to Assange. What a bunch of clickbait and false analogy!
