Is America over, Trump has pushed away all of our allies towards China, China has all the manufacturing and increasing while we lose our soft power. I think truly the only way we can ever save her (no we clearly cannot remove him from office) would be to vote for a democrat no matter what. Why are so many people against voting a democrat if they dont fit all of their needs, wouldnt you rather we begin to vote in leaders who align more towards out side and that then fosters a movement more towards the left instead of deciding not to vote or vote 3rd part knowing thats just taking votes away from democrats and letting Trump win?

Build a time machine and actually listen to warnings from 2015 this time
A Democrat? I’d settle for 20 years of a non fascist Republican. Give me a Mitt Romney or a John McCain and I wouldn’t complain about anything
Yes. 45% supports this sh@t? No hope. Perhaps the blue states can make a new union…

No, we are cooked. We are turning into Assad’s Syria….
Trump’s…everything certainly gave China some breathing room. But the threat of them overtaking us is an overblown one.
Xi has basically been speedrunning the George W Bush admin, just minus actually being in a war and that treasury waste. Though arguably they had a similiar scale boondoggle with their bridges to nowhere in Africa and at home. Their housing market is awful, they are wildly overleveraged and no one is seriously considering them as a viable friend. At best they are a useful pivot to scare Washington.
Not to mention how their society is undergoing a Japan-style demographic collapse making it so they have no viable domestic consumer market and being the world’s manufacturing center only gets more expensive.
And if the fucking moron actually does cause a global recession, that hurts their economy just as much.
In short, 47 is an unfathomably awful own goal by America. But it’s far from a rosy picture for China.
If anything, be bullish about Europe. He is dragging Europe’s fascists down with him. And it also was the kick in the pants Europe needed to push them towards greater federalization.
In it’s current form? I don’t believe so. People are very ignorant and have no idea how much they actually benefit from the federal government. Half this country decided to let Republicans control EVERY BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
If the Democratic Party loses the election in 2032, then we need to push healthcare and welfare responsibilities down to state governments; because this constant swinging between a competent and incompetent government cannot continue. Let the red states do their own little thing, without federal subsidies; and all of the blue states can tax and spend like they’re an actually modern country. If people get upset, they can wake tf up, stop thinking Republicans are good for anything, and get off their ass and actually vote for the party that’s actually been trying to help them.

A wise man told me in 2014 that America will be a right wing Cuba: the smartest will leave on airplanes, the next smartest will leave on fishing boats, and the dumbest (or more realistically those without means) will wait until things get so bad that they have to leave on makeshift rafts made of plywood tied to empty barrels.
The reality is America is the Titanic: a sinking ship with only enough lifeboats for half of those onboard. I’m a 30-year-old masters student who’s studying to be a therapist. I’m planning to leave the US as soon as I have my diploma in hand. My mom on the other hand is a 65-year-old retiree. She stands no chance of being accepted by most developed nations.
>not to vote or vote 3rd part knowing thats just taking votes away from democrats and letting Trump win?
For Liberals, I think this idea is over exaggerated or actually ineffective in practice.
The real problem is the swing, moderate, and single issue voter. 2024 really showed me that the problem is, Democrats did not present themselves as the solution. Remember by the time of the election, grocery prices were high and layoffs were making the headlines. Both of these hurt or kill incumbents. When Harris was asked what she’d do differently from Biden, she said nothing. That pretty much sums up Democrats lack of awareness and problematic messaging. A real waste of an opportunity to disconnect the Democrats from the issues being blamed on Biden and provide Harris an opportunity to stand for change.
We made previous changes short china (wto) that need correcting. It may not be good for china, and not having cheap Chinese stuff may be inconvenient in the short term, however it will only hello the US in the long term. Some people here on Reddit really support the Chinese government and dedicate accounts to it, which is unfortunately common on these and news subs.
Once Europe drops tariffs on chinese cars it’s over for the US.
America will recover after Trump is gone. It will recover quite quickly, actually.
China is going down and it won’t recover because of demographic issues. That One Child Policy is really biting now, and there is no way they can get out of this mess with a few reforms. Even if Chinese women were to right now start having as many babies as physically possible, it won’t save China’s economy from the awful demographic bottleneck that’s ahead of it.
