IMO there's a good chance that Trump's second term will mark the end of the United States as a super power.
Speed running the collapse of an empire.
It really feels like that, doesn't it?
Any % Democracy death blind playthrough on a DDR pad.
It's guaranteed because it's basically already happened. The ramifications just take time to be felt
Farming is .8% of the GDP
Nearly every single ally is distancing themselves from us, especially on trade.
Our word is worth even less than it was before because we can just elect someone who unilaterally reverses course and breaks treatys at the drop of a hat.
Currently saber rattling to an absurd degree against countries that were close allies less than a year ago.
Economy as a whole is being destroyed to such a degree that the dollar will soon no longer be the world reserve currency, giving up yet more economic power and stability.
Complete gutting of science and medical funding which will put us decades behind research that we were in the forefront of.
Completely stopping investment into renewable energy, giving up the opportunity to be a world leader in the future of energy and thus just allowing ourselves to be left behind when the switch becomes impossible to prevent, which will probably devastate the economy further down the road yet again.
The only thing we will have is the military, and though I don't like how much we spend on it or anything, they're still fucking that up because cooties are gross.
The superpower thing has nothing to do with farming.
A has-been empire with a massive military and an aggressive desire to get back to the days when everyone respected them.
They'll probably decide, fear is as good as respect...
What massive military? Militaries only exist as long as they are paid.
If only there were signs that a spoiled, deranged imbecile, pedofile who bankrupted so many companies that he ended up as a game show host wouldn’t be a great leader
At this point that’s barely and opinion
The US needs a German style constitutional court to make sure you can’t have a dictator again.
...
Enforced by a foreign occupation after half of the tyrant's supporters got killed, but the occupation doesn't bother killing or at least keeping the rest of them from running the state and corporations like nothing happened?
There can't be a foreign occupation. Our nuclear warheads guarantee that the only way the USA falls is from civil unrest. No one is going to rush a nation capable of Mutually-Assured Destruction.
The dismantling of NATO, all of the "soft power" has gone down the drain, the US being subservient to Russia. It has basically already happened. We are just waiting for everyone to acknowledge it, because every leader in the Western world are desperately clinging to a world view which no longer exists.
In the grand scheme of things maybe not So bad
and destroy the republican base, gop too. hes taking everyone down with him, at the behest of putin.
