The U.S. is less politically polarized than either the late 1960s or (especially) the 1860s.

The national debt is far lower, as a percentage of GDP, than in the 1950s.

U.S. GDP grew at 3.2% annualized rate in the most recent quarter, negating fears of a recession.

When I worry for the future of the U.S., it is mostly because I see so many Americans willing to confidently assert untrue things.

We can argue all day about polarization but it's very apparent. We had 2 straight quarters of negative gdp growth and 2023 isn't looking good. I hope you're right and things look up. The last part of your comment is completely unacceptable. You're calling me a fear monger in so many words. Great way to make intelligent conversation.
