America is dead. It just doesn't know it yet. Its corpse will continue to twitch for a little while longer while it proceeds to bleed out and each of its neurons fire their last time one by one. We are not America; we're the microbiome that was living inside it. And the infection has won. It's starting to rot and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
