7. I don't think even electing Democrats will ever regain trust.

Don't get me wrong... money talks. If Democrats reopen America again to the global economy, investment WILL come.

but after drumpf's first term, I think the world kind of laughed it off and said "phew! That sucked, but welcome back America!"

Now that we've re-elected him, it will likely take at least a decade if not longer of Democratic rule to regain any trust. Even if a Democrat is elected in 2028, the rest of the world has to be looking at us and saying "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." They are going to know that if the American people decide to vote like fucking idiots again in 2032, that America is going to plunge right back into fascism again. and I cannot offer a single person a reason to believe that Americans won't keep on voting like fucking idiots.
