      I dunno. It looks like they will test their democratic power transfer in November. So either they are very fucked (and the rest of the world too), or they’ll just unfuck themselves a bit. We will only really know when it happens.

      I really hope that every civilian who actually cares about this country will be on their feet during the midterms, making sure voters don’t get spooked away by far right militas and protecting peoples right to vote. This is actually the time and place to make use of your second amendment - protect those polling stations with your lives, or your lives might be forfeit anyways if Trump starts the 1000-Year-Reich Pt. 2.

      Too bad all the other governments are so beholden to our government that we’ll drag everyone else down with us.

        I don’t think the USA has the pull they used to, other countries are increasingly viewing them as an unreliable ally. Both in terms of trade and defence.

        To an extent, but I really don’t think the US has the “forever grip” it thinks it has. No country ever has lasted forever.
