    As a US citizen with long heritage here, it saddens me to say that the divorce is earned. Let everyone who voted for this feel economic pain that they thought wouldn't happen. There is no functioning "we" here larger than 1/2 the number of voters. Divided we fall.

      America is the way it is because of its people. It’s unfortunate to understand reality. The world will go on without the US.

        Overall, yes, but not solely. Rupert Murdoch has a lot to do with the current state, Putin wouldn't be nearly as far in without Fox.
