I think it's irrelevant who is in charge and the biggest problem is one of attitude of the entire country. We seem to be dominated by hate and there is just no togetherness. People just seem to want their own way and alternative opinions are not appreciated. Even media outlets are despised by these warring tribes because they do not output 'the truth' as believed by the all knowing. I do not know anyone who objects to peaceful protest but I know shitloads of people who object to non peaceful protests. Look at Brexit, we had a vote but apparently people voted wrongly and need to be re-educated (why not just campaign for another vote rather than carrying on the hate fest)? Hate, yes hate, lies at our decline, I think people enjoy hating, they convince themselves their hate is justified. I watched 'the Last Czar' on Netflix over the last week, this culminates in the communist overthrow of the evil (incompetent) Romanov dynasty. Happy days you might think. No, it ends with the communists shooting the Tsar and Tsarina to death in a cellar and then using bayonets to finish off the five Romanov children. Just hate replacing hate.
