"Democracy survives only when it is rooted in the lives
and expectations of its citizens"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../trump-phoenix.../

America's founders thought if best if rich old white men
made the decisions to benefit everybody.    But  their
decisions mostly benefited themselves.

The buck stops here!

https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/education/trivia/buck-stops-here-sign

Why would anybody want to be president?    The president's
main job is to make the hard decisions that even his
cabinet can't agree on, and take the inevitable blame for
them from disappointed supporters and opponents.

How about this commandment -

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion

Realpolitik?    Spheres of influence?   Metternich?

https://www.twincities.com/2024/06/21/andreas-kluth-u-s-exceptionalism-is-dead-no-matter-who-wins-the-election/

If so, then it's bad news for small countries at first,
and for everybody else when an ambitious charismatic
personality cult strong leader launches world war.

There have been waves of populist demagoguery for as
long as America has been a country - and for thousands of
years before.     The #1 problem for the ruling class is to
convince the masses that the ruling class is serving them.

Democratic voters trying to change the world, still somehow
transfigure into Republican megadonors trying to prevent
the world from changing.

That much has never changed - transfiguration by
accumulation of wealth and power.
