    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!

    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.

    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.

      Honestly I’m more sick of hearing of Musk by now. At least with Trump there’s a sadistic part to me that keeps wondering how low reps can go, but with Musk, I’m just sick of him. I don’t care about his little tantrums at all and every little shit gets hundreds of upvotes.

        See this is my biggest gripe on people complaining about Trump.

        During brexit my feed was full of Boris memes and news. It was really fucking weird watching two different countries get fucked by a fat old man with fake blonde hair

        Extreme incompetence is news worthy.

    American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.

    American national news is just one outrage after another.

      American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.

      And virtually never international, unless there’s a strong US angle.

    This is so accurate you could use it as a scope to shoot a fly from a rat ass all the way from across the next town.

    ITT Europeans once again acting like American politics don’t affect them in any way.

    Anyone else think it’s funny that Britain got Boris around the same time America got trump?
