A year ago I called America a superpower emeritus about to be stripped for parts. But @markjacob.bsky.social is more accurate. We are committing national suicide.
The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.
