I know you may be exhausted hearing their names and reading the news about them. But ignoring them won’t make the problem go away or the situation any better. Don’t look away. Get angry, then find a way to get even.
True, but as a non US person I don't give a shit about US politics or personalities.
Don't forget, the US has nukes. We're everybody's problem.
We just assume you're dumb enough to nuke yourself.
if all the nukes America has went off at once, wouldn't it be enough to destroy the planet or something?
They have almost nuked them a couple times.
We live in a global society, my friend.
Unfortunately they affect us all.
Like it or not, the US has tremendous influence around the world. The rise in populism may not appeal to you, but that doesn’t mean that it may not be coming for you.
Some people are active in their own political communities without needing the likes of their online meme communities and other peripheral interests being flooded by political discussion from Americans.
An important step towards reducing America’s tremendous influence around the world is to divest ourself from participation in their political sphere at a cultural and national level.
We don’t need to constantly validate Americans that their country is the political centre of the entire world. That’s part of the problem.
Again, true. But still don't give a shit about US politics and personalities.
I don't blame you in the slightest. I'm American and I'm sick to death of the clown show.
That’s your choice. Godspeed

People can keep up with the situation and work to change it without also being drowned by it when trying to keep in touch with others online.
Getting angry at wading through hot takes just raises my blood pressure and wastes time I need to engage usefully irl.
Being constantly angry and circlejerking about it with other angry people won't make the problem go away either.
