Nick Bryant: America - polarised forever | ABC Conversations Podcast

Nick Bryant has long been fascinated by the United States, a super power that he has always understood as being one of the world's great democracies.
After living there for most of his adult life, Nick abandoned America for the sunnier shores of Australia when his children realised why they were doing 'shooter drills' at school.
He's now had three years away from his beloved America, and in that time Nick has re-assessed his beliefs about the country.
To Nick, modern America's wild political polarisation is 250 years in the making, and the great American experiment is failing miserably.

Bryant's is a fascinating and valuable voice, that helps give us Strayans some informed perspective on the 'failed state'* that is Murrrca.
(I quote, and concur with, the former host of Late Night Live.)

Mao was being a realist when he said "Political power comes out of the barrel of a gun". One man, one vote. The only question is who should that one man be.
