In 1860, the United States was run by what historians have generally regarded as the worst President ever, at least until the record was smashed to smithereens by an orange pedophile, and was about to disintegrate, which in fact it did. The issue was then, as it is now, racism and an insane Supreme Court.
It seemed improbable that the 51 year old country lawyer would go anywhere, but somehow he did. The rest is, as they say, is history.
It was highly improbable that the United States would fall from the heights it achieved by agency of a small minded intellectually weak, corrupt, and uneducated pedophile, and perhaps it is improbable that it can be restored by a bright young man, but given the improbability of everything we now observe, hope remains, if not for everyone, certainly for me.
