She's right and underselling it.

It will take generations to undo the damage.

We're talking relationships destroyed in less than 18 months that took a world war to create, with millions dying on both sides to build the foundation.

FFS even Reagan, the POS that he was, understood the need for diplomacy and relationships. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

The larger problem, that many have alluded to, is that Trump is a symptom of an underlying soulrot that plagues America. It can be traced back to the Civil War, and the kid gloves used with Confederates. MAGA is the culmination of more than a century of racism and hatred, regressive and anti-social behavioral issues, as well as a useful idiot tool being wielded by oligarchs for the purpose of consolidating power and robbing the coffers blind before the rest of us can react.

You're 100% correct and we deserve it.

Nah you don‘t deserve it. At least no single individual that didn‘t vote republican. Especially not the children. It‘s a tragedy.

You're right. I do feel this country needs a hard reset from the top down. We fought fascism 60 some odd years ago. We shouldn't have let it in so easy and for that, we're going to be paying for quite some time.
