btw, do not hope for the U.S mid-terms. American foreign policy is entirely the responsibility of the U.S president. We will have to deal with this shit in Europe for the full 4 years.

Hoping for the Americans to change course is no strategy. The best we can hope for is temporary ambiguity regarding NATO, but eventually any US politician will leave Europe.
I doubt the next presidential elections will still be free. For a narcissist reality is whatever makes him feel at ease. For trump reality means that he is always winning and whenever he loses it was fraud. He'll make sure that he can never lose again.
I doubt he will disappear in four years. The last time he lost he denied reality and started a coup attempt. He is now taking over the institutions and his Oligarch friends take over the media. America might be turning into a dictatorship real.
Even IF the midterms were a blue wave, it wouldn't change much, yes. As it stands, I doubt that there would even be a blue wave or something - Democrats are so weak as the opposition that I doubt anyone will vote for them.
A lot of people seem to be putting the hope on Democrats winning something. But as things are moving, I expect Republicans to make sure the Democrats don't win anything in a long time.
Not to mention the right is supercharging their efforts to restrict voting rights, making it harder to vote for a populace that is already apathetic to participation in elections.
Trump just signed some paper that gives him unlimited and unchecked power.
I doubt they'll hold any kind of elections. They'd not risk that kind of power falling into their enemy's hands.
The left-wing reactionary movement that’ll inevitably rise from our current right-wing populism is something I’m not terribly excited about. Best case scenario, we get something similar to the Carnation Revolution.
Well that was only possible because the revolutionaries had the support of the military. With Trump trying to purge the military of all the "woke" generals and filling them with his loyalists, I feel like a Carnation Revolution scenario is unlikely
I don’t quite agree that he will stay for at least 4 years. He intends to stay here as long as the people of the United States allow him to. I clearly remember what he said if he wins the election: there will be no need to vote for him again.
If a sane president comes to power, the opposition will be grounded in MAGA. Americans don’t care for us. If you think people will wake up or regret their choices, I will leave you with Einstein’s quote:Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
Could still hope for enough democrats to get in that they can impeach the president. Although that would just put vance or whatever in power, who is probably running the show with musk and thiel and co
