losing China is a huge mistake because China will fill the void, and we will be left out of that void.
I think from healthcare to scientific advancements, we will be left behind because of the draconian policies of this administration, and "American Exceptionalism" in all endeavors will be a myth as trump and his thugs propel us into a new dark ages.

Even now, it appears the majority of us have yet to decide whether we will allow ourselves to be inconvenienced enough to fight like hell for our freedoms.

The US will take a back seat.
With Trump destroying the US, mission accomplished for China.

Now, why does that matter to humans? Because a lot of the initial research into animal health is passed along and used for human health development.
We are being left out and left behind, and it is frightening.

(12,373 posts)the Republicans are at a point where they don't need their Trumphumper voters ever again. Their Republican voters are a huge block of Rural America, and he is already kicking them aside a little at a time, and he is accelerating countless things specifically aimed at screwing Rural America the worst:
Rural hospitals and Rural medical care is being obliterated big time right now by Trump and Republican Politcians and is accelerating........Same with Social Security, Disability, Food assistance, Utility assistance, etc etc etc
Much of Rural America only has their Republican U.S. Senators and U.S. House members for support, and they too will soon out grow their usefulness............... Have you ever seen a Legislative Branch in a Dictatorship or Tyranny????????????
Same for the U.S. Supreme Court/Justices.......Have you ever seen a Judicial Branch of government in a Dictatorship/Tyranny????
