    The US is fucked. There is no way this gets better. Trump has already clearly communicated his intent to become a dictator. And no one is taking it seriously. He’s talking about using the armed forces to take out his political opponents.

    His opposition is still thinking this can be solved in a democratic and and civil way.

    If Trump wins it’s over for you and it will have devastating effects on the rest of the world. I hope you understand this.

      The US is fucked.

      Yes, I agree, and it makes me very sad. The US has been very good for me personally, I get movies, music, technology, relative stability in the world, and so on from the US. I just feel sad for the poor saps who have to live there.

      But now, we can’t count on the US being the top political power in the world anymore. So now the EU really has to step up, because we don’t want China or Russia to become the new #1.
