The United States is imploding. The reign of Donald Trump is not only challenging and threatening the very foundations of its constitutional democracy, it
In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.
The US is big enough that it will take a long time for things to change drastically. Even when a large company gets a new president, it can take months before low level employees feel the changes. I really hope that it’ll be slow enough that most will be spared any suffering, and perhaps the next administration could start to reverse the tide.
It’s a gradual decline, but it will continue to happen for decades.
The sad part about this is people who are wasting away waiting for the day that never comes. We should realize today that America will not improve or do anything to reduce the disparity in wealth so we’re not disappointed in the future.
Alternatively, as a little side-hobby, we can be more politically active locally, voicing our opinions and trying to educate the local populace of the immense wealth disparity and the issue of corporate money in politics. No doubt those are easy concessions to agree on and no doubt things are just going to get worse as the rug slowly gets pulled. It’s only going to be easier with time to win over more folx with the fact that they’re in the same boat as us and it’s sinking. We can be proactive with small amounts of our time to involve ourselves in (local) politics. Spreading ideas and voicing opinions has always been the defacto way to progress. Change starts locally and spreads from there.
yeah, that’s my assumption, i assume we’re going to be “weathering a storm” so to speak, but nothing on the level of war torn countries in south africa for example. That’s just not likely.
