Interesting article coming from a left leaning news organization.
We asked Americans to describe the state of the US in one word: The answers weren't pretty msn.com
The first answer that came to mind for me was.. crumbling.
So what's your one word answer?

Evolving.
Always has and always will. Our constitution allows rewards for ingenuity. via capitalism. The competitive entities know you have to change quickly in order to compete in this country. Some are able to do it better than others. Those that adapt quickly to new modes have the edge, and can capitalize from it.
The problem is there are many people including many in control that want to eliminate capitalism. Even if they lose the upcoming election they will continue trying to achieve their goal. Granted there are always people that will adapt but there will always be people trying to prevent it.
An old saying that I believe is true, 'all great empires eventually fall' It might not happen for a long time but I think it eventually will.
Divided. I don’t ever recall the country being this divided and each side is ultra passionate about their beliefs.
Instead of trying to choose one word, let me describe my week.
Made 5 figures on the stock market. Very busy at work as usual. Had a few laughs with my co-workers. Got blown by my favorite stripper wearing a hot policewomen outfit for Halloween, blew in her mouth. She tried to handcuff me but they were too small for my wrists. Paid a little more for gas and food than last year, but manageable. Didn't see or was bothered by any illegal immigrants. Didn't see or experience any crime. Didn't ingest any fentanyl.
Despite being exposed to a stream of right wing vitriol and propaganda, I would say it was a good week.
Pussified
Fucked
It’s not a word - but a phrase.
Desperately in need of unification - or a unifier.
We had hoped that Biden wasn’t as mentally incapacitated as he is. We hoped that he would reach across the aisle and pull the parties closer to center, but that didn’t happen, and it doesn’t appear to be on his agenda.
We don’t need more of the same rhetoric showing each candidate as too liberal or too right wing. That only drives a deeper wedge between the people. We need more of a centrist approach. There was a documentary awhile ago, Waiting for Superman, that depicted the decline of the American public school system. My point isn’t about the documentary, but the title of the film, as we need almost a Superman to lead both parties back to center. We can’t remain so polarized as we move forward, it’s just not healthy for the republic.
This seems like a country on the verge of a divorce. Both parties or spouses, are at an impasse, and they desperately need to come together. In many cases, this would end in a bitter divorce, but that’s a frightening thought for this country.
The state of this failed land is so bad that only one word applies - Icee.
COVFEFE.
Failing.
