Det er vel Trumps USA pr.d.d?
I motsetning til 68-generasjonen, som mente de kunne få til endring (som å stoppe Vietnamkrigen) ved å ta til handling, føler dagens unge amerikanere at den større situasjonen er håpløs, og nå handler det om å redde seg selv.

One might expect a rational politician who promised to shut down the US border would take a victory lap and offer some happy talk about his success at slashing the number of immigrants to a historical low. (A sane politician might de-emphasize the fight against immigration: only 11% of Americans think immigration amounts to the biggest risk to the economy, according to the Guardian poll. That’s fewer even than the 12% who believe income inequality is the top threat.)
That wouldn’t fit Trump’s style, though. He must keep ratcheting up the heat, repeatedly claiming the United States is under siege by murderous people from abroad. He is sending the national guard on to the streets of Democratic cities and threatening more military deployments on American soil. Given the mood in the air, one might forgive the average American for taking a grim view.
