I feel for our comrades in the US who have to live under Trump, but at the same time I can't look at the dumpster fire that is the current US Government without feeling some measure of joy.

Couple days ago I hear that he's moving to halt chip imports from Taiwan to have them manufactured locally. Yesterday I heard about the tariffs on Canada. This morning he appears to have axed USAID. Now this.

For all the harm he's going to do within the US, he's also rapidly diminishing the US's ability to do harm to the rest of the world.

As a USonian, I'm kinda delighting in watching Trump basically rip up the entire post WW2 created world. It'll probably make my living conditions all the more worse, but fuck it. As the Romans say, it is what it is.

Yeah on the one hand, I'm like, "Fuck, things are probably going to get very bad here." On the other hand, I'm like, "If his wrecking ends up helping the rest of the world breath, the benefit is exponentially more than the scope of the US itself." I don't want people in the US to needlessly suffer, especially groups that are already marginalized historically. But the global exploitation does need to end, one way or another.
