No days of rest when democracy and human rights are being destroyed.

This. This is impacting everyone globally.

Sure, we're all sick of US politics, but the world order is being upended and democratic institutions are being thrashed. What's happening in America is spreading like a cancer across the world.

It sucks, but this is the shit sandwich we're all dealing with right now. And Americans are the ones feeding it to everyone.

Presidents in the past recognized the impacts of their words and actions, that cause global ripple effects. Seems lost knowledge to those in charge now.

Sorry the hell we’re living through is agitating to you. Imagine how we feel…

agitating

Nope, threatening to some.

imagine how we feel

They’re more worried about the threats, they didn’t get a chance to vote against it and you voted for it.

you voted for it.

No I didn’t, I waited in line for 4+ hours to vote against this exact trainwreck unfolding. I didn’t ask to be born around all these fascist dipshits.

I didn’t choose to live here, and you don’t know who I am and what I do to fight this shit. I also find the air of self-superiority irritating. Most places are one or two bad elections away from the same shit we’re dealing with. You’re presumably from the UK; you clearly have your own violent right wing populist movement festering.

Yes, and this movement is being funneled and fueled by you lot. We don't need anything more from the USA.

Also, we're a constitutional monarchy. Unless someone gets rid of that, we will still have a guaranteed election cycle.

Have a hard time believing our fellow lemmings voted for the trumpet, so it's not really on them.

It is. America has in recent time had a thing for social divide, coming from both sides, yes, but the whole "cancel culture" thing certainly didn't help, which was mainly driven by the left. That and a lack of actually competent democratic candidates, they basically made a tinderbox for right wing populism. The left lost the election. For that, yes, you can blame a group for their failure to win an election.

My block list and filters are constantly being tested and updated. The shear volume of horror leads to things leaking through into my feed unfortunately but it’s usually surrounded by sanity and real human connection.

I just added "minneapolis" to my list of content filters and continue living my life. There's a 21st century land war going on few thousand kilometers from where I live. I just can't make myself care about US domestic politics.
