As the stock market swings wildly up and down, as a virus casts a shadow across the country, and as politics resemble mud-wrestling more with each passing day, the radical socialists couldn’t be happier. America, they say with barely disguised satisfaction, is headed for the ash heap of history, and nothing can prevent this nation […]
