Such nonsense scapegoating economic refugees for empire nostalgia. While being schooled by China on AI and everything... it's impossible to stop historical trends like rise and fall of superpowers.
Donald Trump is a symbol of US decline. People mistake the blaster for strength but it's actually fear of loss of US power.
You are accurate friend, but I think in 18 months democrats will win the house and possibly senate, and trump will be lameduck and things will stablize. Trump's bluster, especially on immigration is just a tax cost to all of us. I'm sure soon we will buy eggs, milk, fruits and food with high prices while jobs for those who work will dwindle! Trump, I believe can win again if the current constitutional amendments being carried out by republicans will go through. They are very embolden and want suppreme court to be 7/2 or 8/1 possible while contnuing to use immigration to make America white as much as possible (White folks are united more than ever, from latino whites, rich/poor russians, Arabs, western Europenans, etc) while minorities Blacks, dark hispanics, asians, natives are divided more than ever!. Billionaires and media are no longer hiding and used their platforms to take divisions to another level, which worked magic to depress democratic votes just to make a buck and boost ego with Trump's corrupt adminstration. The decline I see coming is the resistance in spending that is coming in addition to other resistance from other groups already forming in the background. Black folks are organizing a spending freeze from February 1 through February 28. There are about a million Amazon customers freezing speinding too to teach Washington Post and Jeff Bezos a lesson. There are those targeting Tesla and many groups. If Latinos and other minorities plus other groups follow suit, decline will be drastic! Stores targeted for DEI manenos are already feeling the heat. Their bottomline has gone down in millions, which shows the power of people's resistance! There are 599,000+ European undocumented immigrants in the US, but according to reports, Trump aminsitration is not interested in them. He ordered ICE to target brown and black folks, which has almost destryoed mom and pop businesses of minorities. This is what is fueling resistance that will hurt US economy that was booming under Biden. As long as such measures don't affect the white folk, expect masses of whites continuing to support Trump as he takes United States down! Trump, inddeed is displaying weakness.
I just hope nothing affects stock market particularly Nasdaq and NY stock exchange because that is where I make my bread daily. Looking keenly to see which companies are going down due to resistance so I can short the hell out of their stocks on the way down! On another note, Africans without legal documents need to start being careful, but luckily most Africans, like White Immigrants can blend in with their races. Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans are the ones getting harrassed the most because of their looks. Sad country, indeed!
