You know I think the world of your writing and analysis! But, hope we don't get into a fight--haha--living all those years in Russia had a trade-off, you haven't witnessed the changes in U.S. Opportunity for most people since 2008. Then many were hit again in 2020-2023 when all government workers and the "tech/professional" elite kept their income (reduced expenses--increased savings) while everyone else sucked wind. You imagine the U.S. to be something it no longer is.
You won't notice that the bottom fell out in Manhattan, on the East or West Coast. You need to move into the heart of the country. OR, you need to listen to what they're saying. You need to understand why THEY like Trump. Not what you think everyone should think if they think about it "rationally."
The difference between you and Mo is you write, it gives you status, you consult. What does Mo have? What opportunity is there for him. I bet he is NOT doing better than he was 10 years ago. You tell me.
Tens of millions of Americans (and Europeans) feel completely and truly f*ckd. And they blame Democrats or liberals. They see all attention paid to LGBQ, etc. "Wokeness". I'm not defending them, but they're not all wrong to be upset by it. Anyway, they have to blame someone, right? And who can they blame, even if they were completely rational? And who can they turn to for a fix when those who can fix it just will NOT share.
Harris raised $1 billion, a lot from poor people, do they get the money back? No. Come back to the U.S. Travel around. Listen with an open mind. Trump is only a lightning rod. The problems are wide and deep.
Sorry that you almost got in a fist fight with the durak over Putin. But Happy Birthday anyway.
