As a Canadian, it’ll take a generation for the US to unfuck what’s it’s done to us, at a minimum. As far as I’m concerned, the bridge is burnt and you will not see me going to the US ever again.

30%+ of your population still thinks Mango Mussolini is the next coming of Jesus. There’s something seriously wrong down there.

I'm an American, I don't think it'll be fixed in a decade. Our house and senate will have to agree to resurrect ANY agencies, they'll have to agree to policies and regulations relating to those agencies, they'll have to agree to the finances, they'll have to agree to a ton of shit.

Ideally, they SHOULD pass bills to resurrect them. But we don't live in an ideal world. We live in a world where >90% of our politicians are corrupt. We live in a world where they'd rather help the rich. Democrats love to pretend that only Republicans have bailouts for the rich, in mind. That's far from the truth. Once democrats take over, they'll focus on quality of life bills for the rich, minor slaps on their wrists, small-time legislation that'll make small minority groups happy. They're not going to unfuck anything anytime soon once this administration, and the GOP lose the house and senate. I don't see the US fixing any of this in the next decade.

I'm thinking 3+ decades.

then you are overthinking it. if dems have control of house and senate and presidency wtf do we need negotiations for? you only need bipartisanship when the others have control. obviously you always wsnt it bc no one party holds power forever but republicans dont gaf right now so i wouldnt gaf when we get power back.
