    The USA get one “we did something unthinkably stupid” free pass.

    No way would they ever reelect that literal fascist after he all but tried to dismantle their institutions and install himself as a democratic dictator.

    They’re not that stupid, and if they are? We should all cut ties, don’t want to be dragged down with the ship. But it won’t come to that.

      I know at least one person who, after saying they don’t like Trump and agreeing that he has done several illegal things, said that they would rather have Trump as president than Biden again.

      It’s certainly not impossible that he gets elected again.

      They used up all those passes during the Bush administration.

        Remember when we thought Bush was the low point in American history, and it couldn’t get more absurd than “Freedom Fries”? Good times.

          Don’t diminish what a shit bag Bush was.

          At least Trump didn’t invade a country and kill tens of thousands of people under false pretenses.

          Wait until you hear what country started slavery in America.

          Well, it’s technically Spain, but you know.

      Which terrifies me.

      Cutting ties with the most powerful country in the world? Not going to happen.

              Yeah, don’t get complacent, but don’t listen to the sky-is-falling doomsayers that spam every political thread either. The Republicans have been doing poorly in every election since 2018, and between the chaos in the House and the law finally catching up with Trump things aren’t looking good for them in 2024.
