To be fair, the Yankee empire has been declining for decades and Chinese rise to supremacy was inevitable. Trump is a convenient scapegoat, but the us population is more to blame. Plus they elected the clown anyhow. But what do you expect from a populace who worships celebrities and, relatively, cares nothing about the political issue..

Literally the country is a couple decades away from Idiocracy (the movie)

Well when one party gerrymanders to insure winning elections it gets really depressing watching the politicians ruin this great country.

America sure doesn't rank very high in the democracy index. It is sad how much voter suppression there is in America. Just the tactics in North Carolina only are chilling how systematic how they target minorities and the poor.
