> Too many Americans believe the world would be screwed without the US and the USD, they can’t imagine trading being done in RMB or EUR, yet it is already happening. Most Americans who voted for this (and to some extent their representatives) genuinely and seriously do not think about this matter with any depth and don’t care about the knock-on effects one bit. They lack any desire to know if the world would be screwed or not by US actions. They really just don’t care. They (think that they) want isolationism, less trade, less immigration, less interacting with others. This isn’t hubris — it’s simply ignorance.
