Yeah as a non-American I honestly just don’t have the energy to be worried/outraged about what’s going on in the US anymore. I’ve essentially been fretting about America since George W. Bush took office, and it just keeps getting worse. Now they’ve handed the presidency, house, senate, supreme court and the popular vote to Trump I just… don’t have it in me to engage in four more years of people endlessly tweeting about the horrible shit Trump is doing, while nobody does anything about it. Not to mention the decades afterwards it’ll take to clean this all up, if that’s even possible.
Sorry to all the Americans who didn’t vote for this. Good luck.
This is pretty much the feeling as an American too.
I, too, prefer the narrative where this is our problem to deal with and the consequences for our actions will be paid for by us.
Now i’m not so sure that narrative is true, but there is comfort and motivation to be found in knowing the world will go on without our shenanigans
Yeah I agree, it’s just sort of how America is - naturally everything that happens there tends to spill over and have consequences around the world as well, so I’m not pretending it won’t affect me or anything like that. It’s more like… I don’t get a vote in America, and it’s not like I can reasonably change anything that’s happening there in any significant way.
But doomscrolling and arguing with random right-wing Americans isn’t helping anyone either, so I don’t really see what I can do other than save my energy and maybe try to not let it affect things too much on a more local scale wherever I can?
