  Define done? Even if the government gets completely dismantled in the short term, who knows what will happen in 10 years time. It will definitely take longer than that to rebuild our position of authority and influence in the global stage, if we ever achieve that, but it’s definitely doable in our lifetimes.

    Yeah, good luck with that.

    We don’t want your “authority and influence” any more. The US has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot be trusted with the power they’ve got.

    Nope. It would take 20 years to rebuild the soft power, connections and goodwill the US has now lost.
    But in 20 years, China will have taken over the role the US used to have on the world stage.
    They aren’t even the less moral option anymore.

  What does “done” mean to you, and how possibly can it be final?

  No. In fact it’s opposite. Doge is a good thing. Trump is not an actual fascist despite claims to the contrary, wasteful institutions are being curtailed, laws are being enforced.

  The only real issue is that journalists are a bunch of rage baiting hacks, and y’all eat up it like it’s Thanksgiving dinner.

  The only thing I’m actually worried about is when the Democrats take back power, if they’ll turn into tyrants. But I don’t think that’s particularly likely either.

    Trump is a textbook fascist.

    • Racist
    • Nationalist
    • Populist
    • Authoritarian

    What more do you need?

    You are the enemy of freedom and democracy. You are a false patriot. You are a cancer
