The US will never gain back any respect in the world. It's like shitting yourself at work. No matter how high in the company you rise, you will always be that guy who shit himself at work.

  1. Imagine pointing fingers at one nation, while the entire world goes extinct to consumerism and exploitation for profit.

    Y'all continue projecting blame while refusing to take any. The human virus experiment is coming to an end because of immature and abusive global norms.

  2. I agree it's going to be hard, but Germany has regained a lot of respect in the world after WWII, even though they are still most remembered for starting both WWI & WWII. The U.S. will always be remembered as the nation that shit on themselves.

  3. Will require a major rewriting of our laws, imo. Including Constitutional changes to ensure in clear B&W, not leaving to SCOTUS interpretation, what powers the executive has & doesn't have. And, ethics with teeth, term limits & mandatory retirement age to ALL elected & appointed, including SCOTUS.

  4. Look I know the US is at it's lowest right now, and deservedly so, but this is an issue that's becoming more pervasive in all western government political systems. Maple MAGA in Alberta, Sanseito in Japan, UK and Australia Parliament censoring the internet. Hell, you guys are next on that block too

  5. As an American with a touchy stomach, I have empathy for the person at work, because they didn't mean to be sick. Trump and friends mean to do it and I will never understand the attraction to him. I agree that the US is not going to recover

  6. This isn't necessarily true. Germany and Japan are respected in the world today. The past isn't forgotten, but years of consistent behavior in a positive direction matters. We have a lot of work to do to defeat Trumpism and rebuild our national character and institutions, but hope isn't lost.

  7. Yes, Putin's people have demonstrated pretty conclusively that conservative, Republican voters in the USA are the weak link, a significant vulnerability that may easily be manipulated by their ignorance, sickly values to generate destructive and dangerous mayhem in the USA. Other countries beware.

  8. You’re so correct my Canadian friend. tRUMP has destroyed our honor for decades to come. Someday soon we will need our friends to help us, but we will have burned that bridge. This is what happens when the voters fall for conspiracy theories. What we had is gone, maybe forever.

  9. America, the country that shit itself at the UN!

  10. We may be able to save our democracy, but not our global standing, economic power, and moral authority. These have been diminished forever. No ally, trading partner, or investor will trust us. They will do the minimum and look elsewhere for reliable relationships, no matter which party is in power.

  11. Smug Canadians should take heed. You share our history of treating indigenous people horribly, and you are 1 Pierre Poilevre away from becoming us. My heart breaks for my country. I don’t wish that on you. Also this:

  12. When and if the Trump regime finally falls, the Democratic POTUSes, male and female (mostly female), will work to undo Trump's damage to America and reunite us with our Democracy allies.

    Trump's regime won't last forever.

  13. it will be a long time before America's elected officials are taken at their word.
    Currently every word is an insult, a slur, an outright LIE.

  14. The United States is the 3rd largest nation by population and 3rd or 4th by land area. We are having a bout of fascism, but we will overcome it and return stronger.

    Saying that the US will never regain its standing, is like saying that Germany would never regain its respect after WWII.

  15. This is definitely one of the good things about the Trump presidency. The US never deserved these things to begin with.

  16. Keep in mind that the US was quickly transitioned to a duopoly, following the 'graduation' from the monarchy.

    That should have been graduated to at least a third party, beyond the 13 colonies; but hey - fossil fuels burners gotta 1%!..

    sigh

  17. It think it's possible but decades and that's only if it ends in 31/2 years. The dems will then have to legislation so this never happens again. Expand the supreme to 29 or somthing. Pay them well, but strictly polieced when it comes to bribery.

  18. It is truely heartbreaking to watch the country we grew up looking up to crumble into a third world dictatorship in merely 6 months. Ths will take a lifetime to repair….

  19. Need some ice on your chest, pounding on it like it owes you money. If Germany and Japan can make comebacks over a few generations, it's ridiculous to say that the U.S. will never find redemption.
