I sometimes find it really weird when people talk about being "embarrassed" by the Trump regime.
It doesn't always bother me, but when it's in the context of "the world used to respect us", it very much does.
Do you want the American Empire to be respected globally? If so, why?
Do you actually think the American Empire deserves respect? Or do you think it did at one time in the past? If so...when? When was it good?
