Politics in the US is only now getting special attention because the insulation of the average voter is finally being pierced by the terrible shit Trump is doing. As soon as gas goes back to under a certain threshold, the propaganda networks will slowly turn their viewers back into comfortable and complacent fools with their culture war bullshit.
This country has a very narrow window of sobriety to actually change things back for the better before it goes back to its bread and circuses. I only hope the next couple of upcoming elections has no attempted subversion of democracy by the ruling class.

The problem is that the damage your recent administrations have done can’t be undone. America is going to lose its reserve currency status, and your entire economy depends on that. Not to mention that your reputation as a reliable trade and defence partner is gone. America’s only real asset was its network of alliances and institutional privileges, and you’ve torn them all down in recent years. The dark times for your country are just beginning.
