#1 Another way to say this is: In both major US political parties - and evidently also in many European nations with (ostensibly)"competing" political parties - the electorate has become increasingly aware that all "traditional" candidates of the major parties are all simply competing to "ride the decline" of their respective nations - in the ground.

It is this complacent aspiration toward "it's my turn to ride the decline" that has finally caused electorates to turn to characters like Donald Trump. It isn't that he projects a particularly sensible and coherent platform - it is simply that he says "Let's do (something) to make America great again" - and this projects something other than "join me and hang on while I ride the decline."

Can a Presidency be built on just that one resonating concept? 'Hell if I know. But - if we are going to descend into third world chaos, let's at least go down fighting.
