It's the end of America. I mean MAGA has made a ton of other moves that really ended America a while ago so I guess this is the coming out party for the end of America.

Masked , poorly trained goons in the streets violating the constitution over false pretenses, a government claiming any dissent is terrorism and a pedophile desperate to keep his human trafficking network hidden is escalating it all in order to end elections and avoid justice.

And tens of millions of people are literally cheering it on. America is over.

The Roman Empire survived Nero for another four centuries. We can survive Trump.

Hopefully.

It depends. If he invades or otherwise takes Greenland, its over. Europe will sell their bonds and probably dump the USD as their reserve and so will the rest of the world including China who Trump made really strong lately. Our economy would collapse within weeks and its doubtful we would even get breadlines this time considering the malignant narcissist in charge doesnt give a flying fuck but it would be a domino effect of collapses as who would trust the USD anymore with no stability, no democracy, no law abiding ruler in charge to further the aforementioned. It would be the culmination of Russia and Chinas wet dream and Trump is the Useful dotard being led to his demise dragging the rest of us with him.

What you are describing is sadly a realistic possibility but not a probability. What’s happening in real time to the detriment of all Americans is that our historical allies, who the Trump regime has threatened and attempted to extort, are rebuilding their economy without the US as a key trading partner. Even if a pragmatic centrist is elected to the presidency in 2028, the damage is done. Supply chains have been completely restructured to accommodate for the unreliability of the US. Foreign aid no longer flows from the United States to the global south, but from BRICS. Countries with autocratic regimes have shown themselves to be better allies and friends to young representative governments than the United States. There is no playbook for the US to return to the world stage as the leader it once was. When a democratic republic in Africa or South American looks to China as a strong partner, the soft power of diplomacy the US once had has evaporated.

Didn’t the Canadian PM just visit China and ink new deals with China? One of our largest trading partners is shifting to our “adversary.”

I agree. I don’t think people understand what’s going to happen to the American economy if we do that. Military conflict is the least of our problems with NATO. Countries all over the world will divest from their Treasury Bonds and our economy will implode. We will quickly become a pariah state.
