▲ 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?
