I really need people to start to realize that we’re at least a full decade further into the erosion and decline of the United States than most people seem to think we are. Trump is a symptom of an already sick and dying system. This isn’t a fluke
Once again, this isn’t about regime. It’s a systemic issue. The U.S. is a net negative for everyone, especially it’s own people. The only solution is end the whole thing and try something new
And just like every kinda country/ government it should come from it’s own people not from a foreign power.
It will not last if it comes from outside, the one who got taken down before, always goes back to the fake patriotism and put another dictator in same place back in the end, if not the same fucker (see Napoleon for example).
We should view wealth as a foreign power. The ultra wealthy are divested from the care and keeping of the country, and the regular people in it. They are openly hostile to the citizens, exploiting them and extracting rent and labor from them; and they seek to usurp and control the government.
Funny though. Americans seem to think they can cart Blanche take control of, oh I don’t know: Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Venezuela, Panama, and Iran and overthrow their governments with whatever right they seem to think they have. Hypocrisy much?
Alternative pitch, your politics were under developed in that era - and a lot of people in the mainstream culture were (through things like TV, an uncritical education system, and a lack of information) able to be politically inactive, and fairly unaware.
Because really you should have been sus on America and all the colonial countries and their parent countries for a long long time now.
I think the U.S. will decline much more quickly. The Orange Guy has been in office for barely more than a year and a half, again—the damage he’s done this time around is pretty much irreparable.
Sooner we organize and wield our power as a group, the faster it’ll be over, and the safer we will all be. It’s going to hurt either way, at least if we organize we’ll have control over how and with hope of a better future.

Europe should invade and force a regime change, liberate the US citizens.

I’d be alright with the European Commission appointing an interim government here. I say this as a USian

So europeans should re-colonize it?

Edit. I forgot the Gulf of Mexico.
I say we nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Nah homie, let’s just vote harder.
I am going to vote so hard
No, thanks. Though I will admit the idea of holding some Nuremberg Trials to see who gets hanged is tantalizing.
Get countless of their own people killed to save us Americans from ourselves until the next pedophile president comes along?
Not touching that crap with a ten meter pole, thanks
Growing up in New Zealand we looked up to the USA as most nations did
It has been downhill since 9/11
Exactly, the year before actually when Bush stole the election from Gore. To me that marks the start of the decline of the US.
Really though Reagan kicked it all off but the actual collapse started in 2000.
Sadly, Aotearoa has gone down the populist right-wing path with Luxon and his merry band of cunts
I hope everyone who voted for National at the last election suffers a week of uncontrollable dribbling shits and learn to be better people

The internet supercharged political awareness when for a long time we were willfully ignorant, or it seems that way to me

Empire falls predictably, nation pulls a Pikachu face
All empires do.
I sadly think we have another 10 to 15 of this at least, as well.

The longer we wait though…
