Sadly, I can't see America surviving, not in a form we recognise. The bigger tragedy is the impact on climate change and world peace. I'm not sure we survive this one.

Sadly, a majority of Americans have voted for cheaper eggs over any notions of climate change and world peace. Not that they don’t sometimes pretend to sincerely “care” about those things, but not REALLY if it’s going to cost them a few bucks extra here or there to do so.
Had Bernie been elected in 2016, and then re-elected in 2020, and now in 2024, replaced by a radical environmentalist, then there MIGHT have been hope for correcting the trajectory in a controlled manner.
Today, this seems more plausible: Decadence -> Collapse -> Rebirth (at best).
True, but you can't get elected if you're on either wing of the spectrum, unless you're also a crook! To bring everyone with you, creating real change, you must cover the centre ground. A leader to the left of the centre, but not too far left, is the sweet spot. I think Kamala would have been that.
I honestly have the impression that everyone on both sides—except Sanders—are a cook.
The difference seems merely to be that Republicans are wolves in wolves' clothing, while Democrats are wolves in sheep's clothing. Even Obama intensified the use of military drones.
Unfortunately, I have got the same feeling. I'm not seeing it this time.
Just also remember miitary drones, the broligarch's AI ambitions (xAI, Palantir etc.), the emergence of quantum computers in this regard and Neuralink brainchips.
Or even a real one in 2026. It will be pre-determined since they're not investigating the election interference that took place. Hacking will be even worse in 2026.

A new system is needed, IMO.
