I get that reality sucks, but that doesn't make your delusions correct :3c
edit: this is specifically about the US, hence the reference to the "liberal experiment" as it was once called. Yes, many other countries are not past the point of no return, but very few are not in grave danger.
True. OTOH there's plenty politicians who are trying to pull a Trump these days. It was already noticeable in 2016, and I had high hopes for it being the end of that in 2020, but then 2024 happened...
But all in all, yes, we have to look at the whole world here. The USA won't collapse in a vacuum, nor will it pull all other countries with it.
Canada and Australia only narrowly dodged a bullet. The UK already got a taste of blood thanks to Rowling. Germany is currently grappling with the Musk-fundes AFD
Poland, Hungary. Philippines. Even Japan. Israel. Several South-/Central American countries, not just Brazil and the one they deport the immigrants to. Etc. TBF Trump didn't exactly invent what is now called Trumpism but gave it a good boost.
Germany has been grappling with AfD for way longer; Musk's meddling might've had some but not much effect on the election. And afaik he does not fund them at all.
