    I think things could get better, if the democrats take back power, and then display a level of virtue and resolve they we have never seen from them in the history of ever.

    I think it more likely that we become the Ottoman Empire.

      I’d be very curious about what “we become the Ottoman Empire” means when used by you!

      That sounds like a phrase that can have fifteen different meanings depending on who’s saying it.

        In this case, I’m referring to the description it had during and before WW1, “the sick man of Europe.” I’m not 100% clear on what happened, but it was collapsing on itself, and wound up fracturing.

        And I see your point, since I didn’t specify a time period. For a while, they were serous badasses.
