>> Look at what happened in the U.S. under the last President.
“why bad things happen to good people” ? there is actually one case where naive looks are not good for democracies.. pollsters say that last 6-12 months before election determine people’s attitude.
BUT, when we are dealing with adversaries, they can easily exploit that! So, if a US president stands up to Nazis, Soviets, or Chinese, it may lead to increase of hostilities, oil crises, wars, Korean airlines going down, maybe even pandemics. Don’t let them manipulate your opinion (easier said than done).
