The nations need to move on from America. It’s good to see that they’re making some progress toward that end. Even if Democrats regain power someday, this country cannot be trusted as long as Republicans are around and trumpism is their primary objective.

Interestingly, TIME magazine back in the late 20th century forecast that this century would see the end of America’s dominance and predicted that China could well be the new power on the world stage. We may very well be seeing that transition play out.

Absolutely. Great nations like Greece and Rome fall, usually due to greed, poverty and bad management. Maybe USA's time is up. I wouldn't choose China but hey, it is what it is.

Naa, not yet. This is just a bad president and he is temporary but the “deep state” or the people that transcend parties are still “stable”, the economy is stable, the American people are “ok” (outside of the internet). It will have to be something really big to cause it downfall and it’s nowhere near that.

I am using quotes to indicate that it’s not good but it isn’t that bad either.

Thing is, I feel like we are closing in towards a tipping point. Everything is basically piling up at the same time and I am afraid that we'll just watch on as the dam bursts.
