Despairing? Oh no, the death of the empire is the only thing that gives me hope! I don't think it even matters who leads the empire in decline, it can not be stopped and the world will finally be free.

... wish I could have national healthcare tho

This is 100% where I'm at, the US empire is dying and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it, and that's good.

Hope the landing isn't too hard. Helps that our greatest adversary who will be the new superpower mostly builds power through mutually beneficial trade, maybe they'll set up some factories in the Republic of Southwestern (State I live in).

Arguably trump would be better because the psycho Republicans will rapidly accelerate the decline. Not that id ever vote Republican or Democrat

I can't predict who accelerates the collapse faster, honestly. Under Biden the Democrats are happily marching in lockstep towards the cliff, which might end the US faster than Republicans wildin out on their own.
