Even if by some miracle we manage to stop this shit, which is looking more and more unlikely, we’ve basically lost the trust of pretty much every other country in the world we used to call a friend. You don’t earn that shit back overnight and this is going to hurt every American for decades.

it will take a generation of good politicians trying to make amends, that aint happening if Republicans control all 3 branches of government

Its going to take generations of good leaders and good policy to repair the damage that has been done overthe past 25 years since citizens United passing.
and in my years on this planet, I have not seen a string of good leaders or good policy choices past a few years at atime.
additionally, throughout history when there’s ever a consolidation of power, it doesn’t get unconsolidated without a dismantling of that power. No leader, Democrat or Republican from here on will ever let go of the levers of power that have been consolidated. so we will be forever at the whim of the president we elect.
America’s cooked.
The experiment is done rampant cynical capitalism wins in America.
