My view is that different aspects of the decline will be emphasized depending on whether repubs or dems get into office. Dems are more likely to stir up geopolitical conflict, and repubs will likely have even more deranged domestic policy.

I feel like Democrats are just plain stupid, the republican party correctly recognizes Russia as an ideological aligned country and thus want to wage war on China not Russia.

as fidel says, we need to be thankfully of our enemies unlimited stupidity. in early 2000 russia put itself out there to join nato and be a integral part of capitalist world, but western racism couldn’t fathom nothing beyond balkanize and plumber of russia. today russia could have easily join hands with usa against china, instead they brought churchill and kissinger nightmare to life, a alliance with russia and china.

Dems are more likely to stir up geopolitical conflict

To the extent there’s a meaningful difference, I still think this leans Republican. We have essentially a bipartisan consensus on Ukraine and Israel, and the immediate start of those conflicts was not Biden ordering an attack on someone. On the other hand, you had Trump directly ordering acts of war on Iran what, two or three times? The U.S. also sponsored a coup in Bolivia and a Bay of Pigs-style invasion of Bolivia under him.

Historically dems are the party that tends to get involved in wars though https://thebaffler.com/latest/democrats-are-the-real-party-of-war
