Gorbachev wanted to make the Soviet Union great again - for bureaucrats and oligarchs.  He failed as it was beyond reform.  After a decade of severe tribulations and 18 years finally under a patriot, Russia is moving forward. The only road back to an America worth living in and fighting for is to destroy the old regime, and build a whole new one.  Fire the entire Federal Government, close DC and turn it into a museum.  Take America (the 50 states) right back to the Articles of Confederation and start over.
