@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us That long decline, which I think a lot of Americans must feel in their bones, even while not being able to articulate it, is in large part the appeal of the MAGA "movement" and why it connects with so many. It lets them lay the blame for that decline on others, whether that is China, immigrants, godless liberals, elites, globalists - a barely concealed euphamism for Jews, LGBT. It is inarticulate raging with an inarticulate demagogue as its figurehead.
