Crisis Resolution?

Now to answer FullMoon's question - what would follow WW3?
Hmm…. I’m anticipating more of a rejection of what Trump is doing. The tariff based economics, the cutting of services that various people want, the lack of due process, the lack of respect for the constitution, the excess transactional corrupt deals with the elites, the lies… Trump is already backing down in some areas. His desiring to pretend all his ideas are good ones will prove problematic.

Internationally, Putin is loosing, Xi has economic problems, and the Middle East is messy enough that I won’t make predictions.

Again, the greater the trouble in a crisis, the greater the shift in values as it concludes. Trump is creating a lot more demonstrations and more vehement ones than Biden ever did. I get that the people don’t much like either party. They seem to reject either party after giving each a short shot at it. I’d like to see a major shift in values. A better balance between self reliance and trade. More respect for rule of law. A greater emphasis on serving the people rather than the elites or corporations. Less prejudice against religions, cultures and racial groups. This will start as we approach the mid terms and take full form after the Democrats take power again in2028 in response to the current administration’s unpopularity. We saw independence, lack of slavery, regulation of the economy and containment after the prior crises. Something similar?

Every four score and seven years, a new birth of freedom.

One interesting editorial by CNN has the younger Democrats rejecting the old leadership and do nothing policies. It hasn’t gone far yet, but we’ll have to keep watch.

I'm wondering why the site was unavailable for several days...

That's a good post, Bob. You've got good ideas. A majority of Americans would like to live in a country with all the good things that you described. I kinda thought that we already did, but it's just a matter of perspective maybe. Like to consider our human condition as always needing to strive towards a greater perfection. And I was also under the impression that it was still a process that we are undergoing. But at what point are we now? Having travelled and lived abroad, I'm just going to stay here with the assumption that not only is it the best country in the world but also where I come from and belong. Does this country have lots of problems? A long list we could make but I personally have a list of problems and both myself and the country are tackling them.
But in respect to the position that we're currently facing as we near the climax of the crisis, I think John's theory together with Navigator's, are trending true and what you (Bob) talk about are what's already been happening. This country has had rapid and impressive gains in my lifetime. But also, many things were either over or underdone. International issues creates complexity that dwarfs national issues. We're talking about a global crisis unseen since the preWW2 times. And so national issues will essentially be remediated immediately to galvanize public support. Now that's a crisis for you!
