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.
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
