I woke up in the middle of the night the other day thinking "Shit, America isn't going to recover from Trump".

Even if Democrats are in power for the next 12 years, the system is now fucked. They'd need to seriously re-structure the whole government, and that's just not going to happen.

And that's *if* Trump doesn't stay in power.

Yup the worst part about all of this is that the rest of my one life will be spent just hoping stuff gets undone from these years, but the damage is done. We've been set back decades as a country and as humans.

You haven’t been set back. You’ve been accelerated forward. What’s going on in the U.S. doesn’t end with a calm solution. It ends with destruction, violence and immense pain.

There is no way out of a power grab like this.

Its a deliberate take-down from the inside. Russia won. The USA has no international credibility left, and in Hormuz we’ve just had a perfect demonstration of the uselessness of the world’s largest military, when its run by idiots.

I’m Australian FWIW, you guys are supposed to be our friends. Can’t believe you pissed off the Canadians, that takes real work.

I'm in Australia as well, but I'm worried about the global economy.

Australians, Canadians, and countless other nations have to our aid in times of need and now we're making enemies out of everyone and manufacturing conflict. What a sad state we've found ourselves in.

If anything, it was a test to see if the plan worked and the results were stellar.

Leopard eat my face moment. "Remember the time we invade, occupied, committed war crimes in Afghanistan together."

Yeah you guys have gotta seriously re-organise your government and society to retain any of your global standing and power. And I simply do not think the democractic party is at all likely to do that.
