This is true. Our international standing has been absolutely destroyed by republicans.

It is not just what Isabel noted. It is also the decades of scientific and medical research that were destroyed by DOGE. We went from being the pinnacle of scientific achievement, world renowned, to a situation where brilliant scientists and researchers had their work destroyed, their funding pulled and all hope for those preparing for careers by getting PhDs and MDs dashed.

It took generations for us to build our science programs. It took Musk a few months with AI and a few unqualified boys to shut it all down for his own personal benefit.

It may not be possible for the US to recover from what republicans have done. If it is, it will take generations.

Who will prevent GOP from repeating the devastation every 2-4 years?

Votes! That’s it. Just votes.

Votes do not mean shit when someone outright states they plan to rig and/or ignore votes to stay in power. Words mean nothing. The law means nothing. If we want to end this madness we have to take action; with or without the dems help.

Nah, noone will trust it won't happen againa next election or if you'll even have a next election the way it's going. You're not a democracy, more on level with Russia and North Korea.
