America is having a nervous breakdown. Its national character has fragmented. Americans no longer stand united, and they never will again. They are at each other''s throats. What happened? What went wrong? This is the strange tale of how America is being destroyed by its conflicting character types. Even worse, this is a problem that cannot be resolved. There is no "one-size-fits-all" set of policies that can accommodate character types that seek radically different things. This makes consensual government impossible. Oswald Spengler, in his apocalyptic masterpiece "The Decline of the West", wrote, "2000-2200: Formation of Caesarism. Victory of force politics over money. Increasing primitiveness of political forms. Inward decline of the nations into a formless population, and Constitution thereof as an imperium of gradually increasing crudity of despotism." America, with the advent of Donald Trump, has entered its Caesarian period. Things will never be the same again.
