Bush Jr took you to the brink of that (after marching towards that cliff hard with other previous admins)… the US only needed a nudge to get there and electing a child rapist was like taking the off ramp into the void
So you want me to list evil stuff but exclude wars that killed hundreds of thousand civilians because you don’t care about those people and torturing humans because the USA does that too often to count?
I think when you say “most people don’t care” you are still just referring to the USA population
It’s the same high-control, unhealthy policies though, that includes all the hate on LGBTQ+ people too. That was big in his terms, anti-gay ballot initiatives based on lies that hurt people, that turned out the prejudiced base to elect him and others that caused damage here and abroad. It’s always regress and ruin progress, and, yes, the latest maga version of the party is even worse.

There’s a big difference from “we’re going to rename French fries” to “we’re going to invade Greenland”.
Bush did a ton of evil shit… let’s not pretend he was just a silly goose
What evil shit did he do for the world (specifically US allies) to hate the US?
Before you answer, let me remind you that most people don’t care about anything that happens to anyone more than 100 km from them.
Bombing Iraq and Afghanistan? Those are far away and there’s always a war in the middle east.
Torturing people? Par for the course in America.

The question was about “the world abandoning the US”. What I think is irrelevant, look at the opinion polls in 2005 and 2025.

Well, on lemmy downvotes mean even less than on reddit, so honestly who cares. Everyone needs a hobby…
