I feel the same. I found a way to leave the country. Will be leaving in the new year. I have kids and I can’t have them growing up here anymore. Time to try something new.

More importantly, they are dangerous.

Yeah, he’ll send the military if he has to. And he’ll force compliance from blue states. The constitution is something that’s only seems valid to him when it bends his way. And now he has SCOTUS to interpret it just the way he wants it.

They are Stephen Miller fans.

Trump doesn’t seem to care much about technicalities. He’ll do whatever he wants and the majority in Congress and SCOTUS will be right there with him. He’s got everything right where he wants it now and everyone’s compliant and submissive.

Trump is going to pardon and release those terrorists back into society anyway.

Yeah, but we have big trucks so than we can coal-roll and burn rubber all day long…

Toxic masculinity doesn’t deserve a real response. They’ll just respond with another caveman answer. Seen it a hundred times before.

Your standpoint is toxic. Doesn’t deserve any real consideration.

Yeah, the “me big strong American man” response. What else is new…

I’m American, but I try not to say shit like that because it’s not true.

Appealing to Trump’s ego is the only way allies will survive.

Very bold of you to assume that the only way “allies will survive” is by the grace of the US. Shit Americans say.

Democrats have to get a hold on the immigration issue. The only countries in this world where progressive policies actually thrive is where leftwing parties have adopted stricter immigration stances (e.g. Denmark).

So, Trump just keeps on winning? How about getting rid of the gas dependency altogether? I feel like people are just making one poor choice after the other these days.

The is McConnell’s wet dream and has been his entire career. Unfortunately, his dream came true.

Bye, bye net neutrality.

But at least they got join MAGA to own the libs.

States’ rights are only valid as long as they support the Republican agenda…

Yes, which is why I do think the foundational trade framework will remain and possibly strengthen. That’s what originally created the EU and ended many of the conflicts.

What I don’t see happening much going forward is countries giving up sovereignty on things like immigration and judicial issues or social and cultural issues. I also think stuff like a banking union and further economic integration are hanging by a thin, thin thread. There are simply too much disagreement and too many differences in how the economies work. It’s not like states within the US at all.

Maybe they need it, but that may not be happening. Over the past decade, Europe has been moving decisively to the right, just like the US is doing, which means less internal European cooperation and a further move toward sovereign nation states. The EU will maybe be able to maintain the overall trade cooperation among countries, but there’s very little chance of further European integration in other policy areas as it stands. Even the Schengen open-border cooperation is hanging by a thread.
