Lisna is absolutely right about 2024. What happens that year will decide whether we remain some sort of democracy (let's face it, in reality, the US is an oligarchy that knows how to bamboozle the public). If enough people are wise enough to overcome the partisan gerrymandering and such (Ironically, Maryland is one of the very few states that gerrymander in favor of the Dems). then maybe we'll survive to set things straight. If not, well at least I can say most of my life was fairly stable. I fear for you youngsters here though.

Falling on their swords for the country's benefit is surely a common trait of politicians.
