And here's how it is in post-America

It's a land where acting on conservative views can get you awakened at dawn to police with battering rams who will insist on entering your home, entering your children's bedrooms, and rifling through your most private belongings.

It's a land of campus shit-ins the purpose of which is to push for transgender bathrooms and the notion that gender is a fluid, abstract construct.

It's a land ruled by a junta determined to impose regulations on electricity providers even if it leads to blackouts.

It's a land in which a serious contender for the position of president speaks of "toppling" the wealthies 1 percent of citizens.

Can such a place - which until recently was the hope of all freedom-cherishing humanity - be saved?

It's not a certainty.
