    As someone viewing the Empire from within, the genuine sentiment I feel is that the architects of Empire failed to properly raise successors, and thus now we have a generation of “true believers” in the web of justifications the architects gave to obscure the actual functions of various Imperialist tools like USAID.

    I believe it is being allowed because the US’s only chance against China is to successfully re-industrialize or beat them millitarily, and Trump appears to be gesturing towards the former. This, however, will fail without an FDR style Social Democrat dramatically investing in public infrastructure and domestic production from a federal level, such as with a Green New Deal. Or, of course, Socialism, but that would likely not put the US at odds with the PRC.

    Only time will tell, but the far-right admin seems to genuinely be running on copium.
