      I would gladly not care about US politics if it would leave the rest of the world the fuck alone.

        I don’t . . . I mean, agreed! Okay? Hurrah, we’ve achieved an understanding, now will you please let us avoid a massive disaster of hitherto unseen dimensions?! We can talk policy when we’re not literally in an existential crisis.

            The tunnel vision caused by fear is wild to see. It’s like mass halucination and there isn’t anything you can say to get them to look around and take stock.

      I’m kinda to the point of not even reading US political threads on any Lemmy instance. Seems like half the participants are Europeans/Aussies/Canadians who have plenty of loud concern-troll opinions about US politics, but can’t even vote in our elections.
