    Maybe some damage is irreversible but the goal should still be a return to the liberal status quo that was actually working quite well before American voters decided to break it anyway. I don’t concede that the goose that laid the golden eggs is quite dead yet despite voters’ attempts to kill it.

      The status quo was not working, and the systems upholding it needs to be dismantled.

      Agreed. That seems like the “good old days”. We had reason for hope, and change (even if that was the previous guys slogan). Government may have been slow and have way too much red tape but it generally seemed to do the right thing.
