It will change once again once Trump is replaced by a Dem.
Rubio’s state department has been standing up fascist dictatorships in Latin America as quickly as he can.
I suspect any Dem who replaces him and isn’t fully in board with ethically cleansing indigenous people south of the border will have a difficult time.
Then you’ve got fascist governments in the Philippines, India, and Japan, all of whom have been very much onboard with Trump’s ultra-nationalism.
And European fascists from Reform UK to the AfD have been piling up election wins for years, in no small part thanks to American tech billionaire support.
Anyone who believes this all ends the day Trump flounders out of office is kidding themselves. We will, at best, be right back where we started on January 7th, 2021.
And yet it means nothing. When you look at glonal perception data of the US, it was favorable under Clinton, Obama, and Biden and unfavorable under Bush and Trump both times. Outside of the obvious partisan implications, the data shows that perception changes a lot and very quickly. It really doesn’t mean much outside of the present atmosphere.
Can only speak of my own country, but we certainly did nothing to permanently decouple from the US under Bush or the first Trump term. But we are now. I think you underestimate how much damage Trump has done to the US’ relations with the rest of the world
Trump has actually quipped about making Venezuela the “51st state”. They are committed to bringing back the era of banana dictatorships and quasicolonialism.
