I’m not so big on there being “turns” as fas as empires…

One could make a case that all of this is just random noise in the big picture of evolution.

Perhaps some hot button - e.g., the cutting off of nursing home funding - will finally motivate more Americans to pay attention to the words and actions for whom they vote.

The pattern of empires rotting from within as their elite/ruling class finds other things to do than competently run the empire has repeated itself many times in history.

Let’s hope the US avoids that for now.
