The Shining City On A Hill

Americans live in the richest country on Earth, with the most liberal freedoms (no one else in the advanced nations can wander around freely with guns for example). 

History has observed that by praying on the fears of those who feel, that they've been ignored or left behind, dictators have been able to control and strengthen their own power base. And by dividing the population... they inevitably rule.

Americans are not an exclusive race. In fact they're the same people as us, who simply migrated over there and built a new nation... a mere, 243 years ago.

Life wherever you end up, is a lottery; you could just as easily have been born in a slum without clean water to drink and just a pot to piss in.

However, a YouGov poll suggests "21 per cent of voters across the board approve of Trump supporters storming the Capitol" last night... "while that number rises to 45 per cent when only looking at responses from Republican voters".

The world doesn't owe America a living. However, the world did up until now, respect America as a great nation a "shining city on a hill" a beacon of democracy. And to those who continue to say "this is not America"... unfortunately, it is right now.

Change is an inevitable fact of life and those who cannot change or evolve are left behind... and as we observe in nature, for example, they eventually become extinct.

The world is asking, why on Earth would you voluntarily choose to hasten that demise... simply because someone told you to feel sorry for yourselves?
