    This only works for one election. Conservatives have short memories and would vote the same bastard who made their lives miserable the first time back into office 4 years later. That’s not an improvement, that’s just a temporary reprieve from the systemic deconstruction of our government’s purpose to help the general populace.

      Very true. That’s why the rest of the world watched the US install Trump for the second time and then decided to reroute the circuit around America.

      It is an acceptance that the US could pull the crazy lever at any time so it is better to have more independence and less reliance on them.

      Of course, enforced isolation is not good for the US in terms of economic development, national security or force projection, but this is a self inflicted wound. Other countries didn’t get a vote.

      *I assume that someone out there might say, “good, we don’t need you”. Okay, have a great life then.
