9. When has the US ever been a democracy?
Granted things are a mess right now, but a little historical perspective indicates that they've been a mess before & yet there has been progress over the past 200 years.
Brown v. Topeka was only 50 years ago for example.
These things go in cycles.
We're in the midst of an intense retrogression right now, but doesn't mean that we won't be able to get back on track if people persevere.
