I don't know how you arrived at that conclusion. I did not make a statement. I asked a question.
I don't know how you can agree or disagree with me. I did not make a statement. I asked a question.
I don't know who you are agreeing with. Certainly not me. I made no statement to that effect.
When someone tells you A, and you answer well, it could be -A, I have seen cases where -A is happening. I wonder if -A is going to happen.
You do understand that, even if you phrase your answer as a question, you convey a strong message that you believe about the possibility that -A could happen instead of the proposed A, right? If not I am not sure to understand why you bothered writing about -A in the first place. Perhaps you could explain?
This feels like a pretty universal way to converse among logical adults. I mean adults not having been infected by Trumpism (supporters or not).
Regardless, sorry if I did misunderstand your post, please just understand my answer as being relative to -A.
You certainly seem to know a lot about 70,000,000 Americans.
I see that we are still not past the point where you don't agree that an external view about America could be relevant. I hope that the many academicians in the world who study systems from outside won't have their feelings hurt.
Please do at least acknowledge that I mostly did not comment only about 70 million Americans, I did comment mostly about 380 million Americans since the very meaning of my post was that Trumpism's influence isn't stopping at Trump supporters. I also took the liberty to comment about 6 billion citizens outside the US. I know... crazy... how do I dare to have such opinions.
The only conforting thing, I guess, is that hunderds of books have been written about the influence of Trump. I have only read a few of them. They pretty much all seem to agree. I fear that you may not consider any recommendation from me as relevant, but for others who may be more open minded, I recommend Ken Wilber's "Trump and a Post-Truth World".
Is your opinion different?
Cheers,
Bernard
