It's a great day for the USA. I think we could see just what the worst could have meant for them.

Actually I’m delighted to see the back of the odious Trump but I don’t envy Americans. Their pandemic is appalling too and there are some shocking extremes of political views ( if you can call the nonsense the trumpettes etc splint “political views”)

They are in a terrible situation but at least they have hope.

Love it! I envy them as well. Last year at times the only consolation was it could be worse,we could have Trump....

I agree with your basic sentiment wwmk2 but really?
A bit rose tinted, when has politics (or any Institution for that matter) been 'free' from human frailty?

I don't envy them. The country is deeply divided and those divisions have resulted in violence and the loss of life, and they have a mountain to climb with regard to getting some control over the pandemic.

Sadly they are now such a divided country that although I welcome a more civilised leader he will have a tough time ahead.

Today we see the end of lies, corruption, and immorality in the leadership of the USA

I envy them.
