    and so was 9/11, and Katrina.

    both showed incredible, international outpourings of support, generosity, and kindness, and opened the door to a potential better future.

    and both opportunities were frittered away on stupidity and arrogance.

      My thoughts exactly. I will totally celebrate Trump’s death, but anyone who thinks its going to change anything for the better in any substantial way is sadly oblivious. In fact it frustrates me that so many people seem to think everything will be fine once Trump dies. Already the seeds of inaction and complacency are sewn.

        You don’t get it. Without dear leader they fall apart. They don’t have anyone to replace him, at least no one their voters care even half as much about as him. The cult will die with him and that is a HUGE opportunity to capitalize on.
