Although most of the time you are correct, there are enough 'outside' factors in the US and abroad - racial tensions, poverty, cyber propaganda, climate change, global pandemic, unemployment, geopolitics, etc - that makes this a particularly bad time to have a divided country & ineffective leadership. I'm creeping up on 40, and it feels to me at least that things are the most toxic they've been politically and socially in my lifetime at least.
