You silly goose. The US, both Dem and Rep parties, responsibly worked together for decades to balance and contain the global brushfires. The reason there were no Mega-Trends is that they were mostly held in check. The biggest destabilizer from the 40s to the 80s, was who? Your socialist workers paradise comrades. Who kept them (mostly) in check? More sensible people from the USA. Yes it was fustercluck but was generally a workable fustercluck.
The last 20 (25?) years have been awful - toss Jimmah Carters time in there too.
