I don’t disagree, but I am also worried that Trump and many members of his administration view our political process and constitution as something to be discarded or worked around. He literally said the other day that we shouldn’t even have midterm elections. And the main guy behind Project 2025 believes in pivoting to a ‘post constitutional’ America, whatever that means. I have a genuine fear that all the stability that comes from the Constitution and process that America has, is about to be thrown away. But even if it isn’t, I think other countries view it as not as protective as they previously thought.
- jacquesm 10mo agoThey gamified politics to the point where the state of the country doesn't matter at all as long as they get to have their way. This can't hold long term but it will do immense damage to the USA and the rest of the world until the inevitable correction. I try not to think too hard about how bad this could get but it is hard not to lie awake at night.
