@ NW P.
Good assessment of the "us" and "them".
You mention the institutional processes, but are they really the problem? These United States of America are filled with oddities viewed in an international perspective.
No other nation has such a variety of ethnic backgrounds assembled in such a short time. We confess to being fine with that, but are we really?
There is also the flash and glamour of LA and in some views also NYC, that just doesn't come into play in the vast area in between.
Is there still a north-south divide or at least a problem, a lack of understanding?
Money is important all over the world, but nowhere else is money everything the way it is in the US.
If these topics cause the formality of the republic to "misfire", then what?
As I mentioned almost a year ago, I was hesitant to vote for either candidate. And I didin't. None of them were to my liking.
@ Greger
I'm with you! I hope this is nothing more than a bump in the road.
No, I'm not Nils Bildt. It seems he's an immigrant from Sweden who adopted a nobel surname upon getting his green card or becoming American. He is not known in Sweden, from what I hear.
