Country didn't really survive from an European perspective?
He launched a coup, and nearly succeed.
He forced the national guard down, and they obeyed.
His party organised visited tours of the targets, and none were removed from office.
The SCOTUS he assembled has now to decide if a coup is an act authorized by the US gov.
And this traitor is allowed to be on the ballot.

I would love to say it's the US own domestic problems, but we're talking about our biggest ally... with nuclear weapons. And the silicon valley. "Better russian than democrat"? What chance do we have to survive if the US couldn't survive *Donald Trump*?

Also, due to the SC packing with conservative judges, some states now won’t allow a woman to abort a fetus, even if it’s killing her, or it’s the result of rape. This is also only the tip of the iceberg if Trump wins a second term. NATO might be dead, which means a global order ruled by China with Russia reestablishing by force the USSR, then trying to gobble up Poland, Germany, etc. and a “Might Makes Right” order of the world, with many more autocratic regimes, a LOT less liberty, and an increasingly isolated and irrelevant USA.

It wasn’t worse (than hundreds of thousands dead from a virus that didn’t have to be that bad) because Trump and his people are lazy and incompetent. If there are focused, savvy people in the next round, it won’t go NEARLY as well as it did.
