Great observations and excellent expression of it, as always, Bryan.
I think if the citizens of the US could stop their cultural habit of worshipping their heroes and treating them as false Gods who want to rescue the common man, they may calm down and join the rest of the world again. Too much belief in the "Hollywood characters" that they create. It would be amusing if the outcome didn't negatively affect the rest of us too. (An observation from Down Under )
Living in the US has been like living in a nightmare you can’t wake up from.
I did appreciate your wise ending. It’s been a few years that I’ve lived a keep it simple life by trying to make my little corner of the world as peaceful and good as I can.
I just spent a week in Stockholm and it felt like every time I go home to Montreal for a bit. The absence of that low frequency sound, that creeping feeling. The vibes have been off here in the US for a while and you’re only aware of it when you leave.
You’re brave Sharon. It can’t be easy.

False gods and exceptionalism: a toxic mix
"It's too soon to give up hope. [because] The Romans eventually became Italians." I like your sense of humour Bryan.
On that optimistic note, bon week-end mon ami.
I have to admit that some of my humour comes from desperation — the need to finish the story 😉

Come home, Lisa, to where you belong.
is history a vicious circle but we may take comfort in what goes around, comes around.
