The world knows that it is not only Trump. We know that there is a broad election basis supporting that policy, that there are billionaires pushing it and that the whole GOP is totally in line with it. We witnessed how Biden tried to fix the damage of Trump1 and then we got an even worse Trump2.
So the world is trying to get out of their dependence on the USA and that will go on, because there will always be the threat of another trumplike president coming from the MAGA swamp
Even if after Trump a good president is elected, they'll have to use their whole time to extinguish the flames. And then what, after four years? Will the American people elect the next Trump-style president who has an easier time bringing it all down than it takes to lift it up? It'll take at least a decade to fix this mess. And I'm not positive that many Americans see it as the mess it is.
I'll be truthful, if it was 2013 and I was in my current age, going to the US would've been a no-brainer as someone in tech. Early last year I chose ZĂĽrich instead.
The worst part is, even if someone spends a decade putting the furniture right, the US will emerge right back at where they started with no material improvements made to the lives of people and they will be clamoring for another 'Trump will fix it' style campaign. Hard to see how anyone could pull the country out of its current death spiral.
Yeah, Americans need to pass a whole lot of constitutional amendments to prevent a future president from doing things like this.
This whole thing has shown that the "system of checks and balances" that they're so proud of is just a sham. If the US actually managed to push through constitutional changes, that might be a first step in rebuilding trust. Until then, everyone has to assume that it's just a matter of time before there's another Trump-like president. Historically, passing constitutional changes has been extremely difficult, so it's no given that that can even happen in a reasonable time frame.
Was going to write almost the same 👍.
