For Joe Reeve, the midterm afterglow faded fast.

The London startup founder was among the wave around the Trump-weary world awakening to the stunning news that Americans had sharply rejected President Donald Trump’s fist-in-the-eye stewardship of the United States that had started a war with Iran, forged no peace in Ukraine or the Mideast and made gas and food so expensive.

Voters, Reeve saw online, had flipped control of both houses of Congress, handing the power to check the president to his rival Democrats. American democracy, 250 years on, had survived the Trump era.

But a deep and profound distrust of the United States had survived the vote, too. And from national leaders to aspiring American immigrants, no one seemed confident that change was afoot.

We are at least two years from anyone being able to START to trust our country again. In order for that to happen, we will have to not only have to give the government over to the Dems, but we have to make sure that MAGA can never rise again.

It is clear that MAGA is an ongoing, enthusiastic National Security Threat, and that's BEFORE we embark on the next two years, in which PeeWee Himmler is going to unleash unspeakable violence on the American people in an attempt to crush us, and eliminate elections.

When we get our country back, we will have to prohibit MAGA from existing, and anyone associated with MAGA must be purged from our government. They are Domestic Terrorists, by their own admission, and our elected officials take an oath to protect us from all threats, "Foreign and Domestic," and MAGA is exactly what they mean by Domestic.

When we've purged MAGA, and passed laws that will shore up the weaknesses in our government that MAGA exposed and exploited (like increasing SCOTUS), and we start acting responsibly toward the rest of the world, then maybe the rest of the world can start to trust us.

We've got a lot of work to do to restore America's reputation and place in the Free World.
