"I think the majority of Americans (including left-wing voters) have not fully grasped the fact that our standing in the world will not recover in our lifetimes.
Even if we elected two full-term Democrats in a row, it wouldn't change the perception of the rest of the world. Because the rest of the world has discovered we do not have a system that prevents our nation from pivoting 180º toward authoritarianism when a madman is elected."
