4. I think trust in any US government will be difficult to re-establish.

Even if we gave elections in 2028 and a Democrat becomes president, both allies and enemies know that another Republican Trump-like administration could take over four years latter and undo everything the Democrat tried to accomplish. World leaders now gave to address climate warming with zero help from the US since Trump is forcing dirty coal plants to continue operating and killing clean energy projects.

No one can rely on peace initiatives from Trump or Republicans because all they care about is exploiting situations and world events to enrich themselves.

No one who is not white can risk traveling to the US without being hassled by CBP, and even two white German teenagers who flew to Hawaii were detained and strip searched simply because they waited to arrive here to choose a hotel. And anyone who fails to provide five years of their most private social media posts now can be denied entry. Few people can trust the US as a safe place to visit now.

Eventually more countries will do as Canada just did and turn to China and away from the US because our political system is no longer trustworthy. We will truly be America Alone because once stable alliances are established with other nations, the US becomes less important.

Unfortunately I think we have too few voters are have convinced themselves that so long as white people are in control of government everything will be fine.
