    Things are difficult and the actions of this administration are causing unnecessary suffering to many people. However, the republic and the world survived 8 years of W Bush, a useful idiot for super-wealthy friends of his VP, disruptor of the global order, friend to Christian nationalists, stoker of anti-Islamic violence, warden of Guantanamo Bay prison, and wrecker of the economy. The parallels to our situation today are striking. Perhaps the US will survive again.
