The fundamental affliction killing the formerly United States in my opinion, is neither complacency nor fractiousness. For fractiousness and complacency are but tools and states which partisans calculatingly and successfully deploy by instilling them in different parts of the electorate in the strategic pursuit of their partisan agenda.
The fundamental affliction is a sense amongst the partisans that there is no great fundamental virtue, such as unbiased informing of the public, public engagement, knowledge, expertise, experience and competence, that can transcend and trumps partisan virtue. There can be no greater public good than partisan agenda de jour and power. No fact other than contrived propositions calculated to justify and advance one’s selected cause amongst the uneducated and uninformed.
Amongst the left, this is perhaps somewhat more the result of an unfortunate fixation and obsession. Amongst the right this stems much more from a malevolently calculated technique to advance agenda beneficial to oneself or one’s Doners at any incidental cost to the rest of what is supposedly one’s own country.
Two motivations fatally dovetailed and as a result there is trump, and no longer one union or one United States but in name only.
