    Within America would be pretty easy, you just have to listen to your constituent demands and acknowledge them publicly with proper respect. Like how Mamdani was literally the only candidate who wasn’t shilling for Israel and actually explained his policy which people wanted.

    Internationally, lol it was already down the gutter post WWII. Kind of hard to realive foreign leaders you already assasinated.

    The only realistic way of the US getting back the trust of major countries is for those countries to go through the same shit and sync to the same level as the US has.

    Just start treating people with kindness and respect and show that your word is your bond. That’s it. The rest takes time, like any healing does.

      …and that time is about two generations. People reproduce at around age 25, so two generations are about 50 years.

      I hope other countries will heed the warning.

    Honestly, don’t even mention the last president publicly. Act like he never existed. Investigate him surely. Reverse any and all of his policies. But just don’t acknowledge him at all.

      That would decrease my trust. It would look like they are doing nothing to learn from their FAFO.

        I didn’t say do nothing. I’m just saying don’t give that asshole the attention. Treat him publicly as though he never fucking existed. That’s how you treat a narcissist. Deplatform him.

    Simple: refrain from doing any stupid shit for half a century. any stupid shit will kick the timer backwards 70℅ of the elapsed time.

    (There really is no other way)

      This. Trust is a function of time and commitment. Especially time. Easy to lose hard to gain

        Yeah, that’s true. Although, not by much. I remember that in 1990’s there was still plenty of distrust towards them, as they were seen as nazis. Nobody wanted Germany to become strong. The 1990’s began 45 yeqrsnafter WWII had ended, and while the trust had been almost recovered, it was still not intact. I’m not sure if it’s even now: Germany is the biggest reason we didn’t support Ukraine militarily as much as needed back in spring 2022. They wanted cheap gas and were ready to accept horrors in the name of political realism. It’s hard at least for me to not see a connection between that cynicism and what the same cynicism led to in 1920’s and 1930’s.

          If there were an actual way to give all rural areas to Russia, sure, let them see how wonderful the totalitarian government they so desperately want would be to live under.

    When France and Germany did not follow the US under G. W. Bush into Iraq in 2003, the language used did not differ significantly from the language about not following the US into the Straight of Hormuz.

    Obama had SOOO MUCH to make up for and wasn’t able to rehabilitate the image of the US… and then everything got EVEN WORSE!

    You’ve been like this AT LEAST since Regan. Trump is not the cause, he is a SYMPTOM of a sickness that has festered for AT LEAST 45 years, not only in your politics but in american society.

    I imagine it’ll take about the same amount of time to change the american people back into a nation that can be respected instead of feared and loathed.

    Trump is nothing, he’s unimportant in the grand scheme of things. The real enemy is the mindset of a majority (republican or democrat) of americans.

      The USA isn’t the way it is because Trump is the president, Trump is president because of the way the USA is…

    It just won’t happen. Our institutions are weak and very subject to outside influence. Everyone in the world can see it.

    If our corrupt oligarchs allow an election, the next president will still have to deal with their financial power, the private electronic surveillance state they control, their overwheming control of our very corrupt court system, etc.

    If the dems were interested in fixing the problem it would take focused effort over multiple terms. The dems are not interested in fixing the problem. This is just who we are as a nation-state.

    Fix the American government, education system, and legal system.

    Thanklessly.

    It won’t be fixed in one term, probably not two, maybe see it start to work a decade after they leave office.

    It’s going to take years to earn back trust, but no matter what happens, America will never have the power it used to have.

    Act normal for 20-30 years. Other countries are not going to revert their investments and turn on their new allies immediately after Americans elect someone normal. It took a long time (way too long) for them to realize US is not their ally anymore and it will take a lot of time to convince them otherwise now.

    Round up Trump, his cabinet, and advisors and then ship them to Iran so they can face justice.

    Make a heart felt apology to the world and cut the military budget in half with plans to wind down military spending completely thus eliminating US standing army.

    Massively increase the amount of representatives in Congress, eliminate the Senate, triple the size of SCOTUS, remove dark money from politics, remove all insider trading by passing strict laws against it, remove the revolving door public/private regulatory capture nightmare, bring in ranked voting for all federal elections, force all politicians to only campaign on policy, hold all authority to stricter and much higher standards, ratify the equal rights amendment, create sound privacy laws, breakup all mega corps, and increase taxation beyond total worth of 10 million to 99.999999%.

      Calling it now, it’s more likely the fed will be broken up and progressive states will join the EU.

      Not saying it will happen. Just that it’s more likely than the US suddenly and comprehensively doing the right thing.

        Yes, I don’t think the US is changing in any sort of positive way anytime soon.

        Joining the EU is an interested idea.
