@raphjd The U.S.A. is, essentially, in a state of Cold Civil War.
1 - On one side is the Big Government Bureaucracy, sometimes called "Deep State", certainly including the so-called intelligence community, the so-called public health agencies, the so-called academics & teachers, the Establishment politicians, the Federal Reserve Bank, the so-called "Military-Industrial Complex".... really any agency or bureaucrat whose attitude is "Respect Mah Autoritay!" Plus, their hangers-on and wannabees amongst the population: ordinary citizens who identify with them, maybe hoping to move up into their club. People who either live off of public money & authority, or who hope to.
2 - On the other side is ordinary citizens who question authority. And who question why their own hard-earned money is being stolen all the time - by inflation, by government spending that vanishes into the ether accomplishing nothing, by various frauds that go unpunished, by lockdowns, by tax hikes, etc.
The first side is desperate. Incompetent, they make a mess of everything they touch. Their U.S. dollar & U.S. financial system are cracking apart - again! They have talked themselves into a deluded, authoritarian frenzy where longtime U.S. traditions of law, fair elections & free speech are now to be set aside because The Ends Justify The Means, you know, The Threat Factor Is So Very Great.
And in a way, they're correct - The threat TO THEM is indeed great - as they teeter on the edge of historic losses to their legitimacy, social positions & way of life.
As to the second side: Trump is indeed flawed, it's a pity he's still around.... except the second side have adopted Trump as an in-your-face type of Mascot, after seeing how very much Trump is hated by the first side.
So there we are!
