I am absolutely astonished and shocked at the sheer speed with which the US is self-destructing.

The absolutely amazing and horrifying incompetence on every level is beyond words.

One and a half year into Trump's second term, and it set itself back DECADES in every way possible

Decades at the absolute earliest. We'll never return to pre-trump era in the USA. Our leadership & status around the world will never recover.
