Americans (or many of them) are nostalgic about the 1950s, where the economy was booming and wages were high.

The loss of that in the recent decades has triggered the 5 stages of grief.

  • denial
  • anger
  • bargaining
  • depression
  • acceptance

America is currently in the second stage, anger, and that’s what causes Trump’s fury.

    I’m apparently ahead of the game as I’ve already made it to depression.

    Don’t expect to make it to acceptance, unless coping counts.

      I think acceptance is when you move to another country as you accept the idea of the United States and the constitution are gone for good.

          Nope that’s where the acceptance comes into play. You just find a country that works best for you if you can or anywhere that will take if you are trying to escape persecution.
