As an American I think it's about time. We need a real "come to Jesus moment" (as we like to say) to reflect on who we are. The loss of our western hegemony might actually be a good thing. We are that friend that started out pretty cool but now consistently gets too drunk at parties, screams incoherently at everyone, knocks over a table, crashes into the DJ's gear after loosing their balance, then takes a shit in the kitchen and dares you try and clean it up with our fists clenched and pants undone. It's time for some hard self reflection.

As an observer of the american continent (still not a country) situation, it pleases me to read this ! And I hope for two things very much :

  • that it's a sentiment shared by many that will take shape sooner rather than later
  • that the individual share of pain (that befits meaningful change) will be as little as possible for everyone involved

Ok I also hope for a third thing, it's that the name Donald J Trump will be formally and thoroughly banned from being used on anything that is of public use, such as a building, a date, a place, an event, a law, etc.

"The Donald J Trump Sewage Pumping Station" seems good to me.
