Interesting analysis. The shadow of the Iraq & Afghan wars looms large over current events and shouldn't be underestimated. And of course, those wouldn't have happened without 9/11. That one event seems to have led the US to begin to self destruct.

It was happening before that.
The problem with Iraq and Afghanistan was the same as previous wars and in fact most policies.
If you don’t have clear, measurable goals, your project will fail regardless what domain it is in.
The "new party" shift began at least as far back as 2016. People generally don't seem to know when Bernie Sanders dropped out, a lot of his supporters switched to Trump, not another Democrat. Both were viewed as outsiders, an "anything is better than the establishment" candidate.
