It looks like the American experiment was just a fluke.
We are unable to govern OURSELVES much less the world and now we are reaping the result of our loss of influence.
Of course to the insurrectionist scum here at RHP and around the country, they don't give a rats ass about anything outside the US.
We stand alone now with our enemies dancing in the streets and all these scumbags hypnotized by Trump can do is scream HANG PENCE and Dems STOLE the election.

Go smoke a joint or take a Valium or something.
Watch the football games and have a couple of beers. I would say have a couple of friends over but you'd probably call me a grandma-killer for suggesting that.
We're gonna be fine. Just chill, man.
We no longer govern ourselves. If we did, then things would be better.
What we have now are political machines ruling over the country. That's the problem. We are no longer protected by the Constitution, politically appointed judges get to rewrite the Constitution by way of court rulings.
It is what it is. We will see how long this country lasts.
@sonhouse saidA rather strong statement sonhouse.

America will be fine again and Biden among the Presidents that follow him will bring respect back to the U.S.A.....I am already happy as their Northern neighbor to see things changing for the better, at least lets hope so. I believe any up rising will be squashed very quickly.
Give it some time, everything is going to be ok!

@Very-Rusty
Yeah, with 70 million people hypnotized by trump to cause even more mayhem.
It will be GENERATIONS before we regain any semblance of influence around the world.
The whole world is watching us and we are no longer the shining example of democracy to the world.
Look at the Ted Cruz's, Hawleys, Moscow Mitch's, Lindsey Gramcracker.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that sort of thing is not going away and we all start singing Kumbaya any time soon.
The white nationalists have been brought to the front by Trump and they are not going to run away back into the Montana mountains because Biden is POTUS.
How are we supposed to present ourselves as leaders of democracy when half the country is at war with the other half, Civil war all over again.
How do you think we are being viewed around the world?
@sonhouse saidThe U.S.A. haven't been viewed badly around the world since Trump took office 4 years ago when he became chummy with Russia, China, and North Korea. Pushed away his Allies.

I think it may take many decades before the States is seen in a better light, but I think this is a good start. I believe you will see the white nationalists I call Terrorists fade away slowly but surely.
I don't think Biden will play with them and I also don't believe it would be much of civil war, they would crushed quickly. Their choice really, their leaders were quick to throw Trumpster under the bus when questioned by the FBI. Said they were asked to come to the WH by the Trumpster!

@earl-of-trumps saidYou fly the U.S. flag, I would think you would be working on helping to make things better.
@sonhouse
Jeeezus, man.
Americans traded in their exceptionalism for the Bread and Circus life.
In other words, Americans are a bunch of ass klowns.

@very-rusty saidThe USA became viewed badly back in the 60's when it entered that effed up Vietnam War.
The U.S.A. haven't been viewed badly around the world since Trump took office 4 years ago
That's when America started to lose it's image as "The Good Guys".
Edit: I think your original post meant "The U.S.A. WASN'T viewed badly around the world UNTIL Trump took office 4 years ago when he became chummy with Russia, China, and North Korea. Pushed away his Allies."

Many of those Americans who didn't want to fight in that war are now Canadians. They left to avoid having to fight in a war they didn't believe in. I can't say I blame them. I believe it is much worse now that it was back in the 60's, but America is good at bouncing back as we've seen in the past!

Precious few I'd wager.
About 20,000 Americans left America, but the same number of Canadians went to fight in Vietnam, so it evens out I'd say.
