Sorry, but no. It seems clear to me that the US as a democratic nation is done. We are entering a period of total plutocratic/oligarchic control of every aspect of American society. Empires rise and fall, and this one has peaked. We are grotesquely powerful in the world, but corporations and a small cadre of super rich control what the country does, Trump is a placeholder.
