You said a “once in a 300 year catastrophe” which means the one big catastrophe in the last 300 years. Your wording leaves little room for interpretation.
300 year catastrophe? Not the Civil War, ww1, The Great Depression, ww2, Korean War, Vietnam, assasination of Kennedy, 911, etc is not the catastrophe but Trump is?
The real question is Trump an elite? I would say no because he’s getting charged with crimes. A characteristic of a true elite is that your not subject to the law.
The way things are going it’s possible that in 15 years, Trump vs Biden will be looked back upon as a clash of debonair, intellectual heavyweights.
It could be Cat turd vs The Rent is too Damn High.
There’s reality and there’s fantasy. How has the Constitution limited the power and scope of govt? The US govt is the largest and most powerful entity in human history under the all-limiting Constitution.
It does. It also takes freedom away. Citing the Constitution for why the government is in the wrong is as futile as citing the Bible in a physics course.
