    As an onlooker from Europe eagerly awaiting the fall of the US, this is disappointing. :( But congrats to the people of these three countries I guess.

    At least US is still shooting itself in the foot with the China tariffs.

      Once the US falls, most if not all of Europe will follow, I’m afraid. The world is a very entangled thing nowadays.

      I mean, he still manage to bring the very divided Canada together. Most people around me cancelled every US based subscription services they had, and people will pay attention not to buy americans products. The world needs to come together to bring this undereductaed and dangerous country down.

        As a (current) American citizen, I agree, bring it down.

          I hate that this clown has turned me into an accelerationist, but at this point what do we have left? Our society and even our species has shown how hopeless our situation is, the ONLY way forward from here is if the numb and dumb start experiencing consequences for making terrible choices in leadership.

          To this end, I want to see it all burn. Not because I hate anyone, but because I think we can do a lot better as a species if we held consistent values and didn’t get led astray by literally anyone who can weave an entertaining story. Our parents were supposed to teach us the value of thought and reason and the risks of making bad choices, but then we all got on the internet and learned that no matter how wrong we are, no matter how backwards our thinking or decisions, there will be some group that supports you wholeheartedly and without nuance.

      Idk, I kind of love the China tariffs.

      Oh wait, you meant the tariffs we’re putting on China, not the China tariffs they’re putting on US oil and coal.

      But really I’m happy with any taxes on oil and coal.

      It’s more of a low hanging fruit thing right now. The tarrifs will happen. There was pushback so they backed down while they continue to field dress the United States government. They will circle back around.
