Doesn’t matter if they’re gone in 6 months. The damage is done, businesses will see the United States as too unstable and unreliable to plan long term goals in. We will pay the penalty for decades. Even if you get a new administration, that administration can be gone in another 4 years.

Oh on that we agree - the damage to US reputation and reliability is already done and it will take decades or a world war to repair it.

  • We will not be alive to see it restored to its former glory ever again.

    • At least I lived long enough to see the liberals who spent the first 55 years of my life bashing the US (often correctly) for imperialistically stomping all over the rest of the world, using its massive military to force its currency and culture on other nations, and meddling in the elections of sovereign nations to create puppet governments (just to name a few of our favorite activities), turn to pining for the former glory of the US empire.

      That wasn't on my bingo card.
