    Absolutely. Republicans don’t realize just how tenuous our status on the world stage, and thought it was still the 1950s. With everything they’re doing, we’re absolutely cooked for decades to come.

      That implies we’d ever recover and this isn’t just the permanent end of American dominance.

      Sentiments like yours are probably the same sorts of things some British folks were telling themselves after WWII as their empire slipped away.

        Oh no, you completely took the wrong implication out of this.

        “We’re cooked for decades” meaning that we’re absolutely fucked, but it might not be awful after a few decades. I have no allusions that the American hegemony will ever return.
