I’m in Australia (and before that, New Zealand). So I’m in the same boat - seems lofty, but I’m really hopeful that it happens!

We’re not as isolated as you might think, though. The MAGA movement has, sadly, helped to shape the development of our own right-wing parties here. I don’t just hope that the US gets it shit together for their sake - they’re corrupting our politics as well.

I’m still hoping that, if the Democrats win the next election (and, if there is a next election!) that the US is able to do some serious soul-searching and reject things like …

• Military action without a declaration of war by Congress.
• Executive orders to push through legislation that’s otherwise unconstitutional.
• Court-stacking.

Administrations on both sides have done this since FDR and the New Deal (and possibly before; I don’t know). They’ve been setting the scene for someone like Trump to come along and continue the tradition with some astoundingly vile abuses of power.
