In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    Gotcha. Disputing you is classic misdirection, existing traumas are old news, fresh traumas just rattle us (“us”), and of course anything that’s wrong happened somewhere you don’t think about with a shred of care in your heart. I think I can hear the goalposts moving again

      well yeah, if we’re talking about the recent trump admin fucking shit up, of course existing trauma is old news. Fresh traumas have barely begun to play out, we don’t even know if they’re truly happening or not, it’s all up in the air currently. Is it a good sign? No, does that mean the US is crumbling? Also no.

      and of course anything that’s wrong happened somewhere you don’t think about with a shred of care in your heart. I think I can hear the goalposts moving again

      bad things have been happening for like 5 years now, most of this isnt new, in fact most of the things trump instated were previously instated under his 2016 term, anything outside of that is unlikely to get anywhere due to his sheer incompetency, unless corruption cooks really hard. Which will inevitably take a little while.

      I’m trying to figure out where we went from “damn bros” to “we’re so joever, it’s never happening again” in literally 4 months.
