    I don’t expect they change their culture in a couple of years. What I want is a change in their vote as had happened regularly in their late culture.

    The USA is done as the global hegemony. They could have gone less dramatically, but they elected Trump, and then they did it again, burying alive all hope of having a comeback or, more likely, a decent fall. The former is guaranteed now, the latter is what Trump won’t allow.

      I have the suspicion that voting differently won’t do much anymore this time. The current regime has again and again demonstrated that it can and will ignore the law at every possible opportunity. So far there haven’t been any consequences. And I doubt there ever will be any. This regime is here to stay. Even if the senile orange sack of shit kicks the bucket, there will be another vile character of his ilk ready to succeed him.

        On this we can agree. Trump already tried with the Capitol event, but too many people were on the line ready to remove him from office. Maybe he did learn something and this time it won’t be that easy. The lack of people’s organization in the USA is disheartening.

          Even if he himself didn’t learn anything, his associates certainly did. Trump has always been brazenly doing whatever he wanted, and bought and conned himself out of trouble whenever it backfired.

            He’s a main actor in a corruption network. As you point out, he has conned and bought “himself” out, because nobody honest would accept he’s been doing this all by himself. So there are the men backing him and ready to step up as soon as he dies of a heart attack or by some Epstein-like fate.

            Going back to the people, the world is expecting them to vote him out, and be ready to defend their vote and democracy with everything they got. Or, rather I’d say, we are wishing for that.
