      Krauthammer's vision of America (as the headquarters of global empire) was very different than Trump's (a rump white ethnostate). Both visions are terrible!

      As against America the global hegemon, lone superpower etc. (Krauthammer) or America as "us" white people (Trump) how about this: America as an ordinary, pluralist modern country. A bigger Canada or Germany.

          Shhh.... That would mean that the USA isn't special.

          That sounds great. I'm sure Russia and China would also agree they would want the USA to move in that direction.

          Well, at the moment, Russia has way more problems with our political resistance than with the US (there seem to be some unspecified people Putin's quite okay with, there...). And China respects us - even if we criticise their human rights violations way more than the US do. So...

          I (an American, I swear) had a conversation with an Australian in Cannes in which he said, “You know it’s over, right? The US is no longer macho #1 superpower.” I replied, “Good. It’s about time the country got over itself.”

          There was also a joke going around the Cannes Lions conference that all the Americans were pretending to be Canadian.
