Who cares? The US is over, folks.
Don't do Trump's work for him by spreading apathy and dispair. He wants us complacent and to forget the power we have. He is far weaker than he seems so he has to project absolute power. Don't give anything to him for free
I am not American.
Trump will also harm you. Plus we could use all the support from our friends that we can get
We will not be friends again until you overthrow fascism.
More likely it will lose superpower status and just become a run-of-the-mill large size developed country like Britain or Germany.
Living in a run-of-the-mill developed country isn't actually bad - in fact the best places to live in the World in terms of median quality of life are all pretty run-of-the-mill places.
Granted, judging by what I saw living in Britain, the whole post-Imperial hangover does screw things up significantly for a century or two compared to similar countries that were never top dog.
The British pedon has been driven into poverty quicker than American one...
They got NHS at least tho
True.
That said, British days as an Empire were almost a century ago whilst the US has been entering that phase for a decade or two at most.
IMHO, the closer a country's past as top dog is, the more wealth is still floating around from the old days and the less the local elites tend to squeeze the local peons to maintain their status, and the riches from the gold old days are a lot more depleted in Britain than in the US, whose currency is still the main reserve currency of the World (though less and less so since maybe 2 decades ago), which would explain why impoverishment of the average person was faster and deeper in Britain.
Maybe so but the fuckening just began, boy
yeeehaw
