What's Going on in the U.S.

i've been writing a fair bit on covid usual with an international focus. But my bread and butter is travelling around, finding things that are interesting wherever they might be. So domestically, i think i want to focus on all the ways in which the united s has begun to resemble a failing state. It seems to me we're dealing with trends in public opinion and disinformation  and failures of sense making. I don't think i was just too young to understand how bad it was at various points earlier in my life. This just seems like an unravelling that is fairly disconcerting....
