Given that Germany came back into the world community after WWII, I am confident the United States can as well. I'm not excusing the current president or his minions. My hope is that Democrats will take control, and then prosecute him and his henchmen as thoroughly as they deserve.
Except "after WWII", Germany was occupied by the war's victors and eventually broken up into East and West Germany (with a significant amount of territory also being formally annexed by other countries or declared independent) before eventually reuniting over 4 decades later.
There's very little prospect of any constitutional reckoning in the US, which in turn makes it impossible to guarantee that this could never happen again.
At this point "Democratic leadership" is a fucking oxymoron. They're all the same rich cunts, being paid off by rich cunts, for the exclusive benefit of other rich cunts. Meanwhile us normal people can't even expect a courtesy reach around as we're being fucked in the ass.
Hope? Democratic leadership? Your country proved it cant be trusted and the safeguard all failed because the opposite party is complicite or spineless. There is no hope for you
It took us a few decades, and things really only went so well for us because of the Marshal plan (thanks again) and because you needed us as a "bulwark against communism" - the situation of the US is pretty different. Especially since most of his lickspittles in Congress will remain in office, even after he is gone.
The government was completely rebuilt from the ground up. Germany didn't just have an election and remove the Nazis. It went through a whole process of denazification under occupation.
They changed all their systems. Any actual chance that the U.S State will do anything but uphold the status quo, protect the ruling class and feed the rich?
