I have written off the United States myself. And I'm a former American. My personal date for the official death of the American republic is Apr 14 - the day Trump disobeyed a court for the first time.
If you think I'm being dramatic, consider this: Kilmar Abrego García is still in a concentration camp in El Salvador.
With that in mind, I'll be pleasantly surprised if America recovers from this bout of MAGA fever, but I'm not holding my breath. Reich however, being still an American and still living in America, and still involved in trying to make Things Better™, obviously has a different outlook and is probably more hopeful than I am.
At any rate, Reich is always informative and pedagogic, and always worth a watch.
