Ken, why step-down from your previous Trump fixing to your liking for generations but now we'll have to see if this (same-old) can be reversed, please?

It surprises you appeared to believe change comes quickly; looking back at least 50 years change has been incremental.

The US and EU have been changing the last two or three decades from making things to making money, foreign affairs and economics notwithstanding.

There's been hollowing out of public discourse i.e. Jim asking our host to ban members who don't think as he does. Gratefully, the silent majority isn't chiming in.

Similarly, we may agree that your notion of reversing will be a serious test of the strength of your institutions and democracy, as will Brexit and EU.
