      about to destroy the lives of Americans for narcisstic greed and irrational hatred

      I wouldn’t say that’s true. He’s going to start with that and cement in and spread this globally because of how economically and militarily influential the US is. He will align with crooks, profiteers, and other madmen and grifters, and others aspiring to power will seek to emulate the path. He will guarantee the climate change is not only ignored but buried while it’s effects and consequences exponentially increase in quantity, severity and irreversibility.

      Honestly, this will be the reference point for a century or much more of worsening QOL for those who live in democratic republics. Empires of US influence are large ships to turn either way, and Trump’s recoronation shows the rot was deep and permanent. In historic scale US democracy was unprecedented though still short.

      Hats off to those in other nations, hope someone can pick up the torch the statue of Liberty dropped.
