    That’s why the rest of the world is backing away from the US and trying to find partners that better share their values.

    It isn’t that Trump and his administration is so awful. It’s that the US elected Bush Jr., then Obama, then Trump, then Biden, then Trump again. This isn’t an exception anymore, this reflects who the US is. It isn’t consistently pro-war and far right. But, enough of the electorate supports that kind of person that it really doesn’t matter who the next president is. It’s just a matter of time before there’s another right wing president who rips up treaties and does illegal things.
