USA politics following Trump's election

[kingslayer]

Geopolitically speaking, America is gaining a huge advantage over China with this whole Covid mess.

Once the pandemic is under control, China is going to face some serious repercussions due to their slip up in the wet markets AGAIN. This time causing the whole global economy to go flat on it's ass. This is a huge mess for the CCP, the whole world is looking at them right now with a furrowed brow. There's no way they'll be able to weasel their way out of it without coming out scathed.

The Covid pandemic is going to the give USA a lot of leverage regarding this

I'd like to think that we are headed towards a Star Trek universe, where all races are welcomed into the Federation and money doesn't exist. Non-interference is the rule and liberal democracy is the law of the land.

However, evolutionary psychologists are discovering that between 30% and 40% of the human race favor Authoritarian regimes. Coincidentally, that is exactly the percentage of people who support Trump, no matter what he does.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters." - D. Trump.

"Democracy is most secure, and tolerance is maximized, when we design systems to accommodate how people actually are. Because some people will never live comfortably in a modern liberal democracy." - Karen Stenner, The Authoritarian Dynamic.

China was already put under siege by western media and fully blacklisted well before corona with all the Hong Kong/Xinjiang/Winnie the Pooh stuff. I don't think this is going to turn anyone against China who didn't already view them with hostility. World opinion currently matters much for the USA whom has been teetering on the edge of losing all influence and solidarity with other western nations like Canada and the EU due to Trump's America First agenda. The US has suffered hits in world opinion too with it's hoarding of supplies and don't think it will gain a lead over China. If anybody's gaining a lead in geopolitical influence from this pandemic it's the EU, specifically Germany. Head over to worldnews on Reddit and you will find people constantly praising Merkel, not Trump or the US.
