    So is it their goal to turn the US into an irrelevant backwater or what?

    So far they’ve introduced bills that diminish their own military force, decimated global trading relationships, now they’re trying to back out of the final commitments they have left. By the time 2030 rolls around no one will want to be president because they’ll have no power.

      Yes. The most charitable interpretation is that people have forgotten the lessons of the 1900s and think that a replay of Herbert Hoover is a good idea.

      Last time it took a few decades and destroying countless lives to fix. Hopefully the cost is lower this time.
