That is on the micro level. On macrolevel on the macrolevel, this country that is supposed to afford us so many benefits and promises of freedom and hope, not just life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, put all of these promises that are supposed to be afforded to us are not afforded to those of us of color, the low income, the immigrants. The dream this country is supposed to provide to us is vanishing before our eyes as well. Host what failed . What worked when you were growing up and what is not working now .

Both had pre disasters that were considered very weak. Of course, Winston Churchill had Neville Chamberlain and donald trump had barack obama. There are actually incredible parallels between the times and the men an
