    What we see happening in the US is structural. If dems get back into power, the rhetoric might change, but not their policy. The US is now forced to prey on its vassals to sustain its own economy, and with the global economy bifurcating between G7 and BRICS, the economic situation in the US can only get worse going forward which will necessitate increased levels of exploitation of the countries it dominates. I think they’ve crossed the Rubicon at this point where the mask has dropped.

      That is true, but I would imagine the average lib in western countries would take any chance to go back to brunch, even if nothing has changed materially. Though as they continue to squeeze their vassals more and more, that sort of “head in the sand” attitude will become more and more unacceptable, hopefully people don’t fall for it long enough to do lasting damage and result in US vassals being too weak to actually fight back.
