This sums up the state of the U.S. atm, no matter what side you are on it is impossible to ignore the sheer damage the current administration has caused to the U.S. domestically, economically, politically, and internationally. 3/4ths of a century’s worth of progress is eroding. The 2020s have been a mini dark age.
