As an American, yeah you’re right. I could see some argument to forgive and move on from his single term. We could say we learned our lesson and got him out as soon as we could and never looked back. But we elected him again. We can’t say that this isn’t who we are. Not all of us, but enough of us. And even after he’s dead and gone, there’s still the very real (and maybe expected) possibility that we’ll put another dumbass fascist in charge again and he’ll wreck international diplomacy and trade again/still/further.
The problem is a culture of money and corruption created this system that put him at the top, and quite scarily allowing him to stay there. He has done worse things than burned his Allies…and he’s still there.
It’s happed now. And it will happen again because the system has not changed. It’s bolder than ever.
Free trade trust is burned. The USA can’t be trusted regardless of orange turdbag.

I don’t have much hope for the future of America.
I will gladly admit that’s partially my own wishful thinking. But hey, America is not a monolith, and that fucking moron isn’t dictator yet.
