    You know, I hope that’s true. And I do think rebuilding is possible. But we need stronger protections to have any hope of actually successfully rebuilding. The far right has seen how effective the Project 2025 playbook has been. We can’t guarantee they won’t win another election. If we don’t build protections, whatever we build they’ll knock down again and go further next time. We also need protections from the wealthy buying our elections - CItizens United needs to go.

      This… There is no “coming back” with a regime change. Generational damage has been done, and won’t be reverted. The apple is rotten to the core.

        Trump is the output of a govnerment system run by outside influence. Trump needs to go but the cancer will come back. Nations will find ways to work without the Americans. So many people are ready to take a quality of life hit to protect their sovereignty, something Americans aren’t willing to do at the moment

      This is how my dad sees the world. “Once he’s dead, everything’ll go back to normal.” Sure Dad. Once the flames die out, we can move back in to the “house.”

      the institutions we worked so hard to build for decades haven’t been utterly demolished and can just reappear with the stroke of a pen. the institutions we worked so hard to build for decades haven’t been utterly demolished and can just reappear with the stroke of a pen.

    So Democrats will do the bare minimum or low hanging fruit decisions without making actual decisions that will potentially stop the next Republican administration from going even more authoritarian?

    A bunch of delusions. It’s going to be incredibly hard to undo what he did, and it will take decades. Decades that could be spent on progress as opposed to rebuilding the basics.

        As far as I’m concerned between that and being unable to afford a bloated military when the next stock collapse happens the world will finally be free of a great evil. Perhaps even a great Satan.
