It's 2025, and Elon Musk has just declared that America's government is unfixable.
Now, I'm sorry Elon, but you are an engineer, not a politician or a historian.
I may not be a political expert, but I am a historian, and I have observed the mood of America in my time.
America's government is not unfixable; it is not broken.
America's government is doing just fine.
America's government is almost unbreakable.
America is not going through a political problem right now.
America is going through a mental crisis.
Trust me, I know a bit about pain and mental crisis, and I am a historian.
America is jaded and tired and restless right now, and has stopped believing that there is a solution.
Parts of America are in immense pain, including Conservative America.
This mental crisis has manifested itself in a terrible political factionalist rivalry driven by pain.
And yet not once have we had an election taken away from us.
Nobody is being arrested illegally.
Our rights have not been taken away from us.
America's government has not fallen.
Elon Musk is wrong.
Elon Musk is a fine engineer and businessman, he is not a political expert. I trust him to run a company. A company is not a government. Business is not politics.
America's government has gone through the fire in the last 10 years and emerged just fine.
Our mental state as a country will heal.
That will take time.
Until then, know this: America's government is unfallen, America's government has passed through the fire and emerged unfallen.
Trust me, I have read enough Soviet history, enough history of political struggles in places like Pakistan in the 20th Century.
This is not what a falling Democracy looks like.
No matter what ranting and crazy stunts goes on, not one election has been denied, not one political party has been banned.
The Constitution is intact, and everyone enrolled in the American armed forces is sworn to defend it, and the American people.
No one is being arrested illegally.
This is not a falling Democracy.
This is America's political leaders going through a massive emotional crisis.
America will be just fine.
America will be just fine.
Mental healing will come.
It won't come from the Corporate media, but mental healing will come.
Pray for those who are hurt, and if you can be strong enough to give love and kindness, it will help so, so much.
America will be just fine.
God loves you!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
