You created this world, mate. This is your neoconservatism brought to life in full force. I'm not exactly a fan of people trying to rehabilitate you even when you're the sort of shit-fuck who caused the Trumpocene.

One of the singular hallmarks of the Trumpocene epoch is that for most of my life, a U.S. passport was a thing to be coveted. It has now become a badge of shame.
