▲ 151 ▼ Observing American politics feels really strange at the moment (lemm.ee) submitted 2 years ago by pet1t@lemm.ee to c/casualconversation@lemm.ee 124 comments fedilink hide all child comments As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk. On one side, it's very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it's scary. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the USA. Americans, how do you cope? What's your take on the situation?

Hopefully Poilievre is somewhere in that range and not among the other minority. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pet1t@lemm.ee [S] 2 points 2 years ago From what I read online and see in the news here, Canada seems to have a "ow yeah, bring it on, we'll kick your ass" mentality (might sound cooler than I intended but hey, maybe it really is like that!) permalink fedilink source parent
