"Experiment" is a good characterization. 8 years of Bush, 8 years of Obama, 8 years of (shudder) Trump? Who would have thought our great nation could survive, much less prosper? We've learned to not vote in "history". Perhaps we'll learn to not vote in billionaires?
These lessons cost way too much. People get hurt.
It's what drives me to look elsewhere in my last years. And to be glad for mercy. 
Now, I love Alaska and northern Canada, even northern Russia, wanting them to be warmer all my life. Who would have thought it would happen so soon? Planning my cruise soon! Prices will come down.
