America needs to eat shit economically before anything can get better globally
That’s just the thing, if America eats shit economically the way it really might, then I’m not sure the union remains intact by the end of the decade. Like, suburbanite guys who have never had to even think about having to tighten their belt will suddenly not be about to get there jalapeno poppers at Applebee’s, or afford the gas to go to an NFL game… And that’s the same type of dude who’s built themselves a small armory in their basement. Trump comes in promising the world, but plummets the country into 3rd world levels of poverty - that ain’t going to end well for them.
