Idk, the far right has taken over Italy, Germany and probably France, soon. The people in these countries, whilst not as awful as Americans, are/can still be very uncaring and sociopathically self-centered on average (I'm a well-travelled frog, not just an "external hater").

If anyone can vote right after seeing how shitty it is going for the US, the world is lost

there's an old adage out there that goes: 1/3 of people will do nothing but watch as another 1/3 kills the remaining 1/3.

the people who still don't know what to think about trump despite everything he's done so far are the first group; the 36% of americans still supporting trump are the second group; and the third group is here on lemmy (and the fediverse) going wtf.

we're in that minority and, even then, most of us still believe that the same forces that created trump will save us.
