    Uh… I think it’s never coming back.

    We had our chance to course correct, and didn’t. And I suspect dems are either going to learn nothing and flop the next election, literally get suppressed by Trump, or get their own version of a “liberal Trump.”

    Our social media is only going to get more toxic now, and it’s already dominating public discourse.

    I dunno where you live, friend, but do not assume the US is digging its way out of this hole :(

      Were you making the assumption that the US had a good reputation before that ?

      Half of the world hated it outright and the other half was mostly just playing along because of its economic or military power and propensity to behave like a bully.

      The only difference is that Trump is too stupid to do it quietly.
