We’ll have a strong indication one way or another in less than two years. I just heard a news broadcast of protesters at a republican town hall in Indiana, which is as backward a state as most republican strongholds. The Speaker of the House, mike Johnson, has asked that republicans not hold town halls for fear of what he calls “professional protesters”. Again, we are talking here about states that are home to vast swaths of degenerate cretins. They are the ones who are pissed off. The midterm elections may bring some sanity back to the USA. Dems need a simple majority in the house to stymie much of what the traitor cunt wishes to suffer upon us all.
I hope it works out as you say; however, I can’t help but think the situation is much worse than that and it will be difficult to recover normality even if the dems win the midterms and resist trump for the rest of his term.
From an outside perspective it seems like people knew what trump was like in the first term, had some time to reflect on it, and then decided they wanted another hit. The kind of propaganda he used to win is incredibly corrosive but apparently it works, and certain oligarchs have thrown their weight behind it to maintain their power. AI and deregulated social media is going to make it easier for bad actors (both foreign and within your own country) to pump it out at scale, using more sophisticated and targeted methods. I can’t see regulators controlling it given what your political culture is like, and how powerful the tech lobby is.
If your country is so fractious that you get one term for each party repeatedly, the republicans will win, because it’s so much quicker to break things than it is to fix them.
In Europe we need alternatives to American tech and weapons systems in case this trend away from democratic norms and rules based international order continues.
Edit: I realise I’ve assumed you are american here, apologies if not.
I think most of us are coming to the realisation that America pulling its head out of its arse is not going to happen, and this is a permanent change.
I fully expect another civil war and when that happens we will need support from the international community, even if it’s covert.
So please encourage your representatives to watch us with a close eye.
