At one time in U.S. history the nation would unite in matters of foreign policy. The saying was,” Politics ends at the water’s edge.” This, of course, is no longer the case. The nation is so disunited that 1/3 of the population refuses to get vaccinated against COVID even though that would help to protect fellow Americans from a disease that could kill them.
It is little wonder that China is emerging as the world’s superpower, that Russia can act with impunity, that other democracies give up on the U.S. One-third of our citizens won’t even accept the results of a fair election. The Republican Party has declared an insurrection to be a normal political protest. The President is attacked for doing too much and doing too little. We no longer lead. We bicker, complain, and swallow nonsense. It’s pathetic.
