The citizens of the world are watching as American democracy slowly deteriorates.
Allies are nervous and America's enemies are gloating.
As a citizen of the United States of America I have a message for the world today.
Despite the combative political atmosphere don't assume a majority of Americans are crazy. It's more like one-third of the country is under the spell of the Trump cult. I know. That's still a lot of people riding the crazy train.
Those minions of the former loser president have spawned an alternate media universe where crazies gather to plan... crazy things.
Listen. This is also probably happening in your country too - crazy elements making inroads into your freedoms. So don't judge us too harshly.
Sane Americans are fighting back although it looks like the MAGA maggots may win in the midterms. That's one battle. Not the war.
If democrats manage to hold onto the Senate (which could go either way) it'll put the House in check should the election deniers take it over. If the MAGA morons take back the Senate, it's still not the end of the world. We'll still have a democrat for president.
I'd also suggest that losing both houses will motivate the hell out of the democrats in time for the 2024 presidential election.
America has managed to thrive for 246 years, and that kind of history is not easily wiped out. We're the oldest democracy in the world. We've fought wars to preserve this country and our freedoms.
You should be aware that we're still the one of the richest countries in the world with the biggest economy (even if it is currently struggling).
Fact. With a GDP of 23.0 trillion USD, the USA is by far the world's largest economy.
My point is simple. America is not going to succumb to external or internal threats.
I know it looks bleak with a rogue former president running around trying to subvert our electoral system, but we've had enemies within before. They lost. As for Trump the odds that he's going to be indicted for numerous crimes are increasing every day.
Americans are resilient. We believe freedom has to be defended daily.
I would ask you to look at our long history and be comforted. Democracy is here to stay and will be for a long time to come.
As it stands, perhaps it's a leap of faith to be so confident in our nation, but it's better than the alternative.
