Despite all the and suffering it has caused and will cause, Trump admin has at least handed us the beginning of a breakdown in US hegemony as trust has eroded with other nations who are all busy pivoting away from it right now.
Unfortunately upon breaking the gridlock, other nations are scrambling to maintain the status quo rather than leaning into the future by redoubling commitments to address human and climate crises before it’s too late for the humans.
Made-up bullshit

Empires don't end, they fizzle out.
Even if this statistic wasn't bullshit, this comic has an inherent cruelty to it that ironically feels very American
It's funny to imagine our descendants in whatever America becomes defending the empire by saying it wasn't America's fault it collapsed, it was Israel's; hopefully though one of the things they admit is it's also because of culture war idiocy and other arbitrary, fabricated social divisions; EDIT: Also the empire's insistence on capitalism and wasting the talents contained in around 350 million people; China capitalizing (haaaaa, see what I did there?) on their population with excellent access to really good education and health services has turned their one billion people into its most powerful asset, meanwhile in America humans are also an asset, but in the form of slavery (wage slavery and actual slavery).
Does this picture originate from a comic?
I think it's from a cute meme made for r/teens on Reddit ... Or "teenredditors"... I dunno what the sub is called anymore...
Do you have a link for the comic? If it's an Online comic.
It's not. The meme (minus the text) is the whole thing.
Okie dokie.
Could have been an interesting full-story 😅
Real empires go for much longer.
The US will not be more than a shitstain in the pages of history.
