Second bolded, I don't see Trump getting re-elected, or Biden getting a second term.  America is indeed at a crossroads.

You may be right, but the only thing more american than apple pie is declaring the generation to come after it to be absolute crap.  The proud boomers of today were absolutely savaged in comparison to the WWII generation, but here they are looking down their noses at the endless declaration of "trouble ahead."  Maybe they're right, what do I know?

And Biden may be out tomorrow or he may be elected again, I can't say.  I think the next crop of democrats look fairly promising, though. Trump?  Lordy, at this point I'd say the GOP may still be trying to shake him going into the 2028 election.
