It lost mine in the Reagan era, so it’s nothing new. Trump is a point on a curve that you’ve been following for decades. That also means that the Republicans can do even worse than Trump, and probably will.
We very well may not recover the science and technology lead we had. Or medical - we may have a horrible system of healthcare but top notch development of treatments and technologies.

So much of our economy, our innovation, our research, and yes our culture.
