@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialOne of the biggest current myths is that if democrats win coming midterms and presidential elections everything will be allright and we can return to business as usual with the USA. In my view that is not the case, the political system and society is too broken to be healed that quickly after Trump's destructive presidency. It will take many more more years maybe even a decade to heal and reform.
