America's hegemony is gone for at least a generation. [View all]

I am reposting as an OP what I wrote in a separate thread because I would like a broader discussion on what you guys think the future holds.

Even if we get rid of him in 2028 , it will take a very long time to rebuild. We will have lost relationships with former allies, the trade markets shifted, countries will have found alternative markets.
Our farmers for example, won't be able to win back markets if somebody else filled the void.

On the federal front, smart people will prefer to be employed in the private sector rather than take a federal job.
Its especially true in tech sectors like IT where a database expert for example, can make twice as much in the private sector.

The attraction that the federal jobs had which was job security and good benefits is gone.

On the scientific front, many scientists will have gone abroad to conduct their research and won't come back.

Global alliances like NATO and the like will have learned to do without us, Europe is rearming.

South America and Africa will see a large influx of investments from China after USAID was shattered and all our soft power squandered.

They ( China) will get a hold of important natural resources markets by exercising that soft power and investing there.

I could go on but I think America's hegemony is gone for a generation.
