  1. I'd like to see America completely sidelined in all global matters, economic, military, environmental, copyright law, science, space exploration, and more.

  2. I couldn't be happier. America always flaunted it's so-called exceptionalism. Now the only exceptional thing is how corrupt it has become and how stupid its president is. The whole country should hang its head in shame.

  3. America needs an emotional bloody nose that will last it for 50 years. It needs to realise it is not the dominant ethical, military, or financial powerhouse on the planet. It needs to start thinking about its own people, rather than the business of every other nation, and it has to, absolutely above everything, get money out of politics and cease viewing corporations as people.

  4. Then make sure you and every single person you know not only gets out to vote in the mid terms, but votes for progressive candidates.

  5. "Russian interference helped elect him" No no no. Quit with that lie or you've learned nothing. Especially as America has literally overthrown democratically elected governments. Democratic party arrogance, Clinton dishonesty and lack of transparency, a lack of democracy within the DNC, left wing voter laziness, a lack of positive messaging, and a despicably pompous and partisan press won Trump the last election. Russia's influence was absolutely minimal. And America should be equally concerned about why Trump managed to rise to the top of the Republican party.

  6. I wouldn't want them destroyed literally (although I have suggested otherwise on many occasions). I do consider them the greatest threat to the planet, but they are needed to militarily balance out China and Russia, both ruled by dictators.

  7. I have no issue with the imposition of tariffs to ensure a level playing field. My issue is with the fact that everything Trump does is a spur of the moment impulse with no consultation with experts on its impact. If I thought that the amount Trump levied and the nations it was imposed on were carefully weighed to restore parity, I'd have zero problems.
