Gods, this is so accurate. A part of me wish we could just isolate the U.S. for a bit, because I’d be curious to see how that’d affect the discourse in the rest of the world. The rise of the far right and Trump legitimately being voted in as president legitimised the far-right movements in my country as well. Last election people were literally pushing for the stop-and-frisk BS to become a thing here.
I hate that I know what stop-and-frisk even is.
Like the rest of the worlds shit is any better. Right wing facists are on the rise everywhere. Ours are just fucking stupider.
Italy facists, brexit, climate, etc fucking whole world is a dumpster.
I’m not saying European politicians are fundamentally better, I’m just saying it’s been a while since one of them got their mugshot taken for going to jail under election fraud charges 🤷
Every time I mentioned Trump on Reddit’s world news sub, I got shouted down for talking about “irrelevant” US politics. I tried to explain his potential impact on the politics of other countries, but they didn’t want to hear it.
Trump was important for the rest of the world when he was… you know… the president of the US… now it’s just a little mediocre guy and I understand that all the little advances in bringing him to justice are pretty important to you guys, but I couldn’t care less.
If he ever gets elected again for some reason, then we will see the potential impact, but for now he is pretty irrelevant im afraid.
In 2016? I would’ve loved to see Hillary be President but that’s not what we got.
By the gods, were it to be so!
I would too so enjoy if, as if from some casement unseen, a pair of disembodied, godly hands were to reach down shoo away those br-r-rown masses from Albion and her sisters, to keep them pure!
It is a crime against Balthūre that they invented fascism in 2016!
In the meantime, I will be feasting for this day!
Sounds like Europeans need to step up on being a dumpster fire if they want as much coverage as us. Be the change you want to see in the world!
Between Meloni, Órban, PiS, the True Finns, etc. I think there are plenty of dumpster fires
Is there like a framerate shortage going around right now?
I can only inagine how sick of hearing his name europeans are, I’ve been sick of it since 2015 and I’m American. Honestly at this point I just want to go one whole day without hearing his fucking name. I can’t think of one other person that applies to in politics, celebrities, anything.
In the same timeframe, we had Brexit which was our own local annoying piece of never ending shitshow
