And if Trump had just faded into obscurity after 2021 we probably wouldn't see this kind of realignment, but the fact he got reelected makes it look much less like a fluke and more like an USA that's increasingly unreliable on the international stage
- cmiles8 2mo agoNot giving you what you want != unreliable. It’s been extremely reliable for folks that want other things.
- microtonal 2mo agoImposing tariffs one day and TACOing out a few days later and infinitum is not reliable. There is no 4D chess going on, only incompetency and self-enrichment. The US is on the path of Russia since the end of the iron curtain, moving to a kleptocracy ruled by (tech br)olichargs. The electoral + two-party system makes it nearly impossible to break out of this.
