Yet the United States is a long way from the fabled sense of security encapsulated by Ronald Reagan's " Morning in America" re-election ad. America is not at ease with itself. At the time, many Trump supporters saw his vulgarity as proof he was an authentic scourge of the establishment. With the space program in hiatus, it's tough to imagine another event that could ease today's political tempest and unite Americans in the same way. The moment when then-Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois vowed there " is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America" seems far more than 14 years ago.
