It's not just Trump. It's the Tea Party and Bush, too. We've spent the last quarter century looking over our shoulder waiting for the next catastrophe that Americans will cause and we're sick of it.

    Honestly I’m sick of American arrogance too, the American empire should balkanize and die

    I’m sure that there is plenty of arrogance from Idaho to Georgia… the electoral college has given way too much of a voice for the flyover states even though they are the minority. I can guarantee you that the coastal communities in the States hate what our country has become as much as you Canucks do. Western Washington/Oregon/California have hated the maga movement from the beginning, unfortunately billionaires use it to pocket tax dollars left and right, and the simps in purple states are down for the billionaire cause despite the fact that they will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to elect officials who are against a universal healthcare bill.

    Yeah, well said. I still think that America should balkanize. I’m American

    I wish it was that easy. California would instantly be a top 5 GDP country and could enforce its own taxes on states and corporations outside of California for every resource we have… instead we’re stuck under this shithead president that thinks tariffs are a means of stimulating the economy. The guy is a fucking idiot and most of uUS are anticipating the day he no longer breathes the same air we do.

    Over 70% of the country wants him gone, but from an outsider's perspective, all they see is the fact that we voted him in.

    It's going to take a very long time to undo the damage caused by Trump. Nobody is ever going to trust the United States again, unless we put safeguards in place to ensure that someone like him can never gain this level of unchecked power ever again. And I just don't see that happening in any of our lifetimes.

    You'll never undo it. America's pre-Trump position in the world was due to the fact that it was the only major power left standing after World War II. After the rest of the world rebuilt itself America was entrenched enough to maintain its position through inertia. When that inertia's gone, it won't come back.
