The US has lost faith in the American dream. Is this the end of the country as we know it?
After one Trump presidency and on the eve of another, it is now clear that a once mighty global superpower is allowing its gaze to turn inward, to feed off resentment more than idealism, to think smaller.
Public sentiment – not just the political class – feels threatened by the flow of migrants once regarded as the country’s lifeblood. Global trade, once an article of faith for free marketeers and architects of the postwar Pax Americana, is now a cancer eating away at US prosperity – its own foreign invasion.
Military alliances and foreign policy no longer command the cross-party consensus of the cold war era, when politics could be relied upon to “stop at the water’s edge”, in the famous formulation of the Truman-era senator Arthur Vandenberg.
Now the politics don’t stop at all, for any reason. And alliances are for chumps.
If Trump dies in office, I'd prefer it to be a lighning strike while he's golfing.
Something that even the craziest of the MAGAts can't get away with blaming on the democrats.
Believe it or not, some of them believe Democrats control the weather. I can hear it now, "Democrats assassinated Trump with lightning!"
You think the Jewish space laser people won’t just immediately start screaming that the Haitians have built a lightning shrine on the island or something like that? We are no longer bound by reality in reporting, much less truth
Don't forget that they claimed hurricane helene was manufactured by the dems and sent to the states it went through for the sole purpose of killing Republicans ahead of the election.
I really wish I was making that one up...
Trust him, the new 'Messiah' will hold back every hurricane with his neutron bombs. /s
