They were helped by our abandonment of TPP. And are winning the solar/wind/battery/ev competition. And doing surprisingly well on AI. And grew global influence from our elimination of USAID.

In the long run, Trump is helping them become the most powerful global superpower.

Imagine being a family member who has to live with a fan of this Russian asset who’s destroying America for the Kremlin

Perhaps better to study science and then leave the US if we don’t solve the political problems here.

As someone who went to law school, a legal education feels pretty useless when it’s normal for the government to neither follow nor enforce the law, i.e. right now.
