    For example, neither batshit tarrifs, nor insane dissolution of trust, if we’re talking purely about international economics.

      neither batshit tarrifs,

      That’s true. Harris, though, like Trump, wouldn’t be doing anything to regulate LLM’s or their financial fuckery, and that is going to be catastrophic when the game of financial musical chairs stops.

      insane dissolution of trust

      Also a good point. The American brand would be more or less intact, at least in the short-term, but I tend to think that all Harris would do is just maintain better PR, because her policies economically wouldn’t be different enough from Donald’s to keep the AI bubble from eventually popping. Democrats are just as in bed with billionaires as the Republicans, they just don’t seat them front-and-center at public events.

          The point isn’t AI.

          The point is that Harris doesn’t differentiate herself enough from Trump’s politics for her election to mean a whole lot if you’re a working class voter or impoverished in the US, and that’s by her own admission. She literally said publicly she wouldn’t diverge from Biden’s politics.

      Only that chances are that it’s the other way round. Trump was installed to sell the tariffs to the world.

          I can’t believe that a madman could decide to remake global economic relations on his own.
