Seems the US only woke up to his deterioration in that first live TV
debate with Trump. But it was no secret to the rest of us that he'd
been in a bad way for at least 2 years before that. The MSM covered
for him very well. Can you imagine them doing that for Trump? This is
why fewer and fewer people pay any attention to the legacy media
nowadays and get their news from other sources. Zerohedge has run some
amazing exposes that were vehemently denied and mocked by the MSM -
but they were subsequently proven 100% correct. They've saved my lilly
white arse more than once, in fact.

 I think you may be in luck. They'll find a way to thwart Trump and the
will of the people yet.

Trump doesn't need much thwarting. His first term made it blindingly obvious that he lacks the political skills to make things happen on large scale. During the Covid-19 epidemic he made it obvious how his intellectual defects made it difficult for him to do anything much, and quite a few more Americans died of Covid-19 than woukd have done if he'd been more competent.

These bastards are utterly ruthless and will
stop at literally nothing to get their way.

With Trump, they don't have to. He'll hang himself out to dry.

But they're no friends of yours, either. Whatever utopia you may be dreaming of if Trump's out of the picture, you won't find it delivered by THEM.

Nobody's dreaming of any utopia - the word means "no place".
"It literally translates as "no place", coming from the Greek: οὐ ("not") and τόπος ("place"), and meant any non-existent society, when 'described in considerable detail'.
America would probably be run better if Trump was out of the picture, but a century of ant-union and - incidentally, but necessarily, anti-socialist - propaganda means that it unlikely to be as well run as most of Europe with universal health care, good education for all and less economic inequality. The biggest improvement would probably come from making it more difficult for billionaires to spend loads of money on helping politicians they like.
Trump was an unintended consequence of the Tea Party movement funded by the Koch brothers from 2010, none of whose preferred candidates was able to out-perform Donald Trump in the primaries for the 2016 presidential election. If you were spineless enough to appeal to the Koch brothers, you were too spineless to appeal to the electorate.
