A Still-great Country

It is 2023.  There is a group out there, wearing Wall-mart khakis, protesting Fascist-style in favor of Trump, Ron DeCrazy and their crazies, claiming,

America is a 'Once-great country, cast adrift.'

Ah huh.  That's why America, in 2023, is still leading the world in space exploration.

Is still a functional Democracy with a Constitution.

Is still leading the world in computer technology.

Still has more allies than Putin.

Still has Britain, Canada, the Entire European Union, Japan, South Korea, and China- yes, China- as our international allies!

Some once-great country!

I wish my once-great country could be having this kind of success!

Wait a minute- it is!

This is my country!

America is part of a thriving international community!

China, the world superpower, values us a business partners crucial to their economy and seeks us as allies for that reason, with their Confucian values!

India, the rising superpower, does the same for the same reason!

Britain and the EU are our loyal historic allies!

Japan and South Korea are our loyal allies!

We are part of a thriving community of allies and business partners across most of the world!

And all of them see America as a thriving and valued ally!

America still has a stable and vibrant democracy, and a good Constitution, after troubles that would have destroyed a more fragile democracy!

America is still great, and has as vibrant and hopeful a future as any country in history!

God loves you!  Look to the light and you will find it!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
