I spelled out "superpower suicide" in this essay from May 2026. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

On Superpower Suicide

And the recovery of justice

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

And all the people in this country that knew full well this was the intention of this administration and voted for it is mind boggling.

Yep. The billionaires voted for more money for themselves, regardless of the consequences. The non-billionaires voted for the man who hates the same people they hate. Hopefully it’s beginning to dawn on them that Trump hates them, too.
