I didn't say it wouldn't. I'm saying that I don't consider the U.S. to be this unshakable idol that can't move or change into something else. And I'm not heartbroken over the idea that things might change so much into an unrecognizable state.
I like stability. Most people do. If the U.S. were to become the next Middle East, I find it hard to believe you would be unmoved.
I'm not heartbroken about change; I'm heartbroken about bad change. And I suspect you are, too.
