  1. I usually find insults in a debate the first signs of losing an argument, something we see a lot on the right of politics and even the right of the media, and for me, the moment they start throwing insults, they've lost the argument, which happens a lot because people that are right wing from politics to the media, tend to get too emotional and use insults a lot to try and push there point across, which means they don't have a good point to start with.

  2. The signs and cracks were showing even in the 90's in the US, but they were doing much better than now. Where things really started to fall apart for the US was with 9/11, that moment in time changed the US in a bad way, which is ironic, because at the time, they said they wouldn't allow terrorist to change them but that's exactly what they did, from then on, the US became far more paranoid and untrusting, the US was slowly becoming more like a police state, I mean seriously, just going through airport checking is a major ordeal in the US compared to other countries around the world. On top of all that, this left and right wing of politics and media went into overdrive which created a major division among the population, a bit part of that was pushed by the Republican Party and by the right wing media in the US and it's progressively been getting worse, and Trump getting into power was partly to blame of past actions in the US and it's likely going to get worse, in other words, Trump isn't the problem, the US system is, and that's going to be much harder for Americans to fix, it also means that there's likely the chance of other Trump's becoming presidents in the future because the system allows these kinds of people to take power. To be blunt about it, if countries around the world think things will go back to normal after Trump is out of power are deluding themselves, the real problem is the system in the US, and because of that, countries around the world should reduce there exposure to the US by trading more with other more reliable partners around the world, a bit like what Canada and a lot of countries are doing now, that will weaken the leverage of what the US can do to those countries.

  3. Which is ironic, because if a message needs to be repeated so many times, it's usually based on a lie, and the US pushes this message far more aggressively on their own people then most countries around the world do and it's called peddling a lie enough time that people see it as truth, based on ignorance, and the truth is, the US is probably among the least developed modern country when it comes to how it treats its people from everything to health care, workers right, food standards, paid holidays and countless other social benefits, in many ways, the US feels like a first, second and third world country all rolled into one, which isn't the norm in other modern countries which are social democracies.
