    It’ll take decades to make up for completely but what can the next president do to regain some trust?

      The US needs to look inward and figure out how to reconstruct itself, or it needs to balkanize and let the theocratic feudal states and the oligarchic surveillance states destroy themselves and their populations in their own ways.

      The existing political system is shot top to bottom, complete regulatory capture, corrupted judiciary, masked secret police black bagging and executing people on the street, wasted idiots in charge of state, defense, and health…

      USA needs to stop worrying about how to impress the girl at the club and think about how to stop hurting themselves and others before they even think about relationships again.

      Just in the last year the US has systematically threatened and insulted every country in the world, and most world leaders individually (except NK, RU, IR, of course). And the US is still making things worse for the entire planet, proudly and defiantly. And the next president will continue this way of behaving because ALL US PRESIDENTS do now.

      Asking this question is like a bully asking the kid to forgive him while continuing to punch him.

      It’s kind of insulting to the other people.

        What? I’m literally asking what the next leader should do to start improving the situation, not asking anyone’s forgiveness. If you can’t name one actual concrete thing, just admit it.

            That’s a list of problems. I guess I just have to keep bringing you back to “what should the next president do?” You know, about them.

            But if I ask you that are you going to compare me to a bully harming someone? That’s my WTF here.
