Hey, also non-USA person.
If you're genuinely not aware of the empowerment of nationalist and racist views around the entire world simply due to Trump's rhetoric from the platform of POTUS then you're either living under a rock or intentionally disingenuous.
Sure, the USA didn't literally start wars or commit any new genocides during his presidency, but that was never the point. If one promise was kept by Trump it was that attention would turn inward to the US's own affairs, and boy did they ever. A stacked supreme court, an enraged nationalist voter base that refuses to accept defeat, the systematic erosion of personal rights one state at a time targeting the most vulnerable populations.
If you think any of those things would've happened under any other president, or that they don't have any spillover effects to other countries, then I have a really neat suspension bridge in California I'd like to sell you.
The groundwork is laid, and accepting the follow-up just because round one wasn't the literal end of the world is short-sighted to the point of absurdity.
Blaming the rise of nationalist and conservative views (which, unlike racism, are not inherently bad) in the entire world on Trump is a bit reductionist, especially taking into account they are usually reactionist movements. For example, in Spain, the Vox party (a right wing party) was founded in 2010 just when Podemos (a left wing party)
Still, precisely because he was so absolutely loud and a bit of a madman, I'm not really sure how much of it is propaganda from either the left, the right, or whomever.
So what rights did he erode, for example? I guess those laws are public, but from what I had heard he took power from the fed goverment and gave it to each state, which was supposed to be kind of the thing of the USA (in our country, the right wanta to do pretty much the opposite though, curiosly enough)
Obvious sea lion is obvious. Roe v Wade
Whats a sea lion, in this context? I know an animal, but in this context. Wasnt roe v wade about giving each state the right to choose their abortion laws?
