Cory Doctorow's Pluralistic essay argues that America cannot undo Trumpism: Project 2025's one-way transformations, a DOGE-gutted civil service, ICE-driven terror that drove immigrants to flee, and hundreds of billions transferred to oligarchs mean the world can no longer trust America as its cop, banker, ISP and consumer of first resort. He contrasts this with Mark Carney, who declared a 'rupture' at Davos and answered Trump's tariffs in kind, yet, Doctorow writes, still hopes to go back to brunch.
