While disappointing, I agree based on what's currently possible.

The problem of hyperindividualism is getting only more pronounced in the US, and it's possible there will be a hard shift right to deregulation, strip-mining of social welfare, destruction of community commonwealth, austerity, and tax cuts for the rich.



It isn’t disappointing at all. The US government was intentionally designed to prevent fast, large decisions especially if they affect individual rights. Otherwise would-be tyrants and control freaks would try to control other people on everything.

If anything we need a return to more celebration and protection of the individual.


Sound like the US fear their own government more than foreign ones.

Easy to exploit.

BTW if you fear control by tyrants maybe the US version of capitalism is a bad idea.
