I think it says some pretty bad shit about the American experiment if old age is how he gets out of office

I don't think America counts as an experiment anymore. I have heard the average empire last 250 years, so they should be about over any day now.

That's some bullshit people love to parrot. Its meaningless.

History does not make itself unfortunately.

Wtf is with this american "experiment" language? Have people always been saying that? The first time I heard it was when Joe was yielding the presidency to Trump and then it just hasn't stopped.

America has some weird shit going on compared to other empires in history. I think the term probably started as a cope when Britain decided to stop pursuing retaining it as a colony, but that's just speculation on my part. It's not a dog whistle related to Joe Almighty Forgetter of Spaghetti or anyone, I promise

correct. Even as a Canadian I learned about "the American experiment" in history class.
