How Sick Is America?

As New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg pointed out, the election of Donald Trump as President in 2016 was proof in itself that the United States is a sick country. That Trump has a good chance of winning the 2024 election is proof in itself that our country is still sick.

How sick? The degree of superiority of Harris over Trump in terms of competence, character, allegiance to the Constitution, and every other significant measure of suitability to lead the nation is so vast and so manifest that, regardless of who wins the election, Trump’s vote tally will serve as a gauge of the degree of our nation’s continuing sickness. If Harris wins the election, it won’t mean that the country is well again. The U.S. will still be in the ICU, but able to be able to sit up in bed for a few minutes at a time and smile.
