Unfortunately, I have difficulty engaging with that. I appreciate those who are trying, but I personally don't have the patience when it's so overwhelming.
I'd be happy to do it when you reach that middle ground.
In the meantime, I'd just like to say to you that America isn't a failed state yet. It isn't a theocracy yet. It isn't a dictatorship yet. It isn't a Russian/Chinese-style capitalist state yet. Isn't a Third World country yet. It isn't.... It isn't.... It isn't....
From my perspective, you seem to have it better than you think.
Things aren't as messed up as you might think.
Much of the problem isn't even in the locus of control of your nation's leaders.
Freedom isn't always birds and daisies.

Where are there falsehoods, please show me.... by all means.
And yes it is as easy as 1-2-3 in the example I gave. It may take a few days or a week to make a decision but not MONTHS. You have men and women over there needing help and our president puts them on hold.
