    @jimmy90 @Await8987 even when he goes, he's destroyed the US's soft power (and created long-term hatred towards the US in places where USAID was suddenly closed), tanked the economy and damaged trade links. The US will either be an insular yet aggressive dictatorship or focused on healing its wounds for years to come. Meanwhile empowered US fascists are funding fascists abroad, who will adopt nationalist policies of their own if they get in. The world is a very changed place.

    Throughout the history of the US they've gone from bad presidents to good presidents, from isolationist to internationalist. So I think it's possible that a better president will win in 2028. But who knows at this point.
