Wait so he is threatening me with the faster collapse of the American Empire?

Hopefully, but IMO its irrelevant which party controls which branch of government. Nobody's stopping the collapse train.

Overall I like that murica's international standing takes big respectability hits, and less countries are likely to go along with whatever imperialist venture they have.

That's the thing, I'm not even sure if it will be faster than if the Dems got in because they're historically more prone to warmongering, thus getting the Empire into unwinnable military wars rather than economic ones.
