MODERATORS
The United States has been collapsing for decades. A force like Trump became an inevitablity after you allowed education standards to be destroyed, right-wing propoganda to run rampant, and billionaires to be held unaccountable for their roles in crashing the U.S. economy.
The number of Americans who have actually been fighting to prevent us from getting to this point is a very, very small group. You voted for this, regardless of whether or not you voted for the orange fascist or the controlled opposition. We're here now because the American people have consistently voted for this inevitability for decades.
Exactly. Americans have been doing the same sorts of things since basically their inception. The only difference was that it was only impacting countries that weren't in their sphere of influence. The only difference now is they've decided to let all the air out of that sphere to the point where former allies are being treated the same way everyone else had been for a hundred years.
It's gonna damage us all, but the silver lining is that the US will never be dominant again. It was happening slowly, now it's happening before our eyes.
