We just have to accept that USA under Republicans is a hostile country, and try to take precautions.

    I really resent the implication that democrats are any different in this respect.

    They absolutely are, they are still pandering to wall street, but they are not fascist they believe in democracy, and they don't undermine allies, they don't plan to take health care away from Americans, and on average they are not nearly as corrupt as the Republicans.

    Claiming there is no difference is decidedly moronic and harmful to progress in USA, and a major part of the problems USA are in. USA now has a decidedly authoritarian government, democrats would never have been nearly as bad.

    Just don't pretend the Democratic Party aren't captured opposition. It's not a monolith, but the faction with power in the DNC are more interested in losing to the Republicans than letting the wrong people win.

    I think they are scared little pussies who are afraid that if they let the left dominate the party, it will be a slippery slope to communism, and the American economy will collapse. The democrats fear change.
    Despite clearly Social Democracy like Bernie or AOC is nothing of the sort. Denmark is mostly Social Democrat, and so are the other Scandinavian countries, and the freedom here is way above USA, and the wealth above what most comparable countries have achieved.

    Now they got the Republicans doing in ½ a year, exactly what they feared the left might have done in 20.

    Ok but when did I ever say that they are equally bad or anything of the like? I said very specifically “the democrats are not any better in this respect”.

    In this respect.

    Once more: In this respect.

    Reading comprehension.

    Also partisanship of any kind is disgusting. Thats the real problem in American politics, the abhorrent tribalism fed by the two party system. No progress will happen while you continue to feed this system because both sides are not willing to solve the underlying root issues. Both just want to put bandaids on problems and continue to preserve their power. If the democrats know they will always have your vote no matter what, they have no reason to fix any issues. Which is why for the past few decades they have solved jack shit. So vote democrat but just like MAGA isn’t afraid to vote out their so called RINOs you should not be afraid to put a boot in the ass of democrats that only serve corporate interests.

    Republicans are absolutely worse ESPECIALLY in this respect, which was USA being a hostile country now.
    This especially goes towards allies, which we considered ourselves to be, since I'm from the EU. But Trump has treated every single fucking ally as if they were the enemy of USA.

    All the things he does, are exactly the same a Russian asset under Putin would do.
    Clearly trust with allies improved greatly under Obama and Biden, and deteriorated under Bush and Trump.
    Problem is that with Trump 2, I'm not sure there's a way back anymore.

    So you repeat your stupid mantra like a child as much as you want , the lack of comprehension is clearly on your side.
