If anyone wants to listen to a very sobering podcast check out "It Could Happen Here" that discusses the possibility of another American civil war.
After today it's quite clear some of our fellow countrymen believe we're already in one.
If You're trying to succeed from from a county are you still a countryman?

Love the jokes, but this $hit is serious. The country is divided because there is a growing disenfranchised part of the population which is growing in size because of the very forces that made the country great: capitalism, entrepreneurship, etc. In the meantime the american dream turned out to be nothing but a dream for many. Now, some of these people are more and more susceptible to rhetoric that the system is rigged against them. At some point populism becomes too attractive and violence creeps in and/or democracy suffers. History offers plenty of examples.
Biden/Harris getting into power will be a bandaid. Real solutions will take decades to redress inequality and curb the pursuit profits for the benefit of the average man and woman. Whether such policies are put into place will depend, in part, on whether the electorate can, on individual basis, think beyond solely supporting policies that benefit that specific individual or that individual's business and think about the collective, the environment, the poor, etc. I say this as someone who comes from the communist block and gets goose bumps when the word "collective" is mentioned. The way forward requires abandonment of principles of trickle down economics and implementation of more distributive policies. We need to change course from a path that, in the short term, might appeal to those seeking to preserve/grow capital, but in the long run will lead to populism, violence and, very likely, loss of that capital. This is the most unequal developed country in the world and a nuclear superpower. Think about that for a moment. We have been warned.
