I can't speak for anyone else here, but personally this whole fiasco was the final kick in the ass I needed.

I'm not looking for the US to fix themselves so I can buy from them again, I'm looking to divorce them for good.

They'll probably pull back from the brink in the next few years. I will still avoid buying American.

They'll probably go through a period of rebuilding and political/economic outreach. I will still avoid them.

Because even if they recover from Trump, they'll eventually do it again.

I think the whole world is waking up to this. You don't try to get back with your toxic ex, you dump their ass and fuck a hot european.

A country that operates like a corporation caused you to have brand loyalty lol

You can't recover from what you are.
