What will be left of America on 20 Jan 2029 when a non-Republican administration finally takes over?

The American people will certainly be poorer thanks to the BBB and the US Treasury will have much, much less money to work with.

Weimar Republic 2.0 that lost its incumbency to this merry band of thieves, fiends, racists, and oligarchs did this to us.

"Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method."

Trump is the worst president in the history of the country.

He's got the last remaining vestiges of the confederacy, dresses up in red MAGA hats, desperate to finish destroying the nation they hate.

I'm curious to see what happens this November.

Fingers crossed that dotard has a debilitating stroke so his campaign of destroying the America we've known for decades is over.

Conserving public land was implemented by Theadore Roosevelt during a time when republicans actually loved America.

Now the only thing republicans love is their hate.
