It's scary. We still feel the consequences of Reagan politics 40 years later. How long will we feel the consequences of Trump?
Brave of you to assume there'll be a USA in the future.
Best case scenario: Balkanization of the US.
That may be great for the long term geopolitical implications but for people's quality of life in the short term that's an incredibly bleak scenario.
Sorry, I can't think of a better one. Certainly not Democrats winning the next election. Not saying I'd be opposed to that though!
And yeah, I think people's quality of life will have to suffer a little more before any of this gets better. Thank the guy in charge; it is apparently much easier to destroy a country than to build one.
DIBS ON THE STATESIAN GYRO
In less than 4 years it will be called Putinland.
How long did the British have to deal with the fallout from the collapse of the western empire.
well given how they deal with their fuckup in Isreal I suppose it will be never
Depends on who you include as British? Do you mean those who lived under the Western Roman Empire? If so their modern descendants are still dealing with the consequences. If you mean everyone in Britain, well Scotland and Ireland went through several golden ages since then and the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes laid the foundations that would one day result in their descendants conquering half the fucking planet. So for them pretty damned good consequences.
But either way very long reaching consequences through time.
Most certainly but such is the nature of history, no man is an an island and all time flows together. The actions of my long forgotten ancestors who migrated the Pontic steppe before the bronze age still effects me now while I sit in my home in Southern California.
US 12 by me and across Michigan is on top of a glacial moraine that was a game trail post ice age and has been used to travel since by everything.
Damned fine example of such examples. Similarly there are trails in Africa that have probably been used by various human species for about a million years, so well before modern man.
