The thing that scares me most about this regime [View all]

Is that I don’t know how this country recovers its image and tries to return to some form of normalcy after he’s gone. I just don’t see the world ever looking at us the same way again. I think the rest of the world tolerated him and went along with the shit show during his first term assuming it was a fluke and we’d come to our senses in 2020. Now I think they realize it’s not a fluke and maybe this is who we are or can be every 4 years if a Democrat isn’t in the White House. If they come to realize that they don’t NEED us, what happens then? What agreements and treaties get made with the US when another president can just come in and rip it all up. I think it’s really starting to set in for me that this isn’t something that gets rectified in 2028, this may take a generation or longer.
