Many would rejoice in the fact that is actually moving. Backwards and forwards to many in this election is a matter of opinion.

In countries outside of the US, the opinion seems to be almost unanimously that the US is moving backwards.

From what I hear, people expect the US to be:

- A lot less friendly place for women, people of color and other minorities.

- Preferring hateful rhetoric.

- Dismissing scientific facts.

- Bankrupting the less fortunate that need healthcare.

- Enlarging the divide between rich and poor, via tax cuts for the rich.

- Less friendly to fellow NATO members, trade partners, neighbors.

I don't know how anyone can read this and see this as a progression.
