      Just curious, are you american or that white kind of European?

      No worries either way. But yea america is in a very visible stage of capitalist controlled oligarchy. The billionaires who run said oligarchy are using propaganda to make it seem like the oligarchy will help the voters who voted for the puppets of said oligarchy.

      Ummmm hope this helps or I die before i need to pay a utility bill for oxygen!

        I don’t know what this means or why people are downvoting me. I’m genuinely asking a question

        I don’t really follow the news so I’m guessing it’s something I missed

          Sadly you’ve been replied to by a bunch of folks who rudely assume a very USA-centric view of the world.

          This post is talking about USA politics, where the leader of the country is currently a piece of shit criminal who is allowing billionaires (eg Elon Musk) to do whatever they want and dismantle long established government institutions, under the lie that it’s in the best interests of the country.

          I’m honestly glad you haven’t heard about it, you must have done a better job than me of filtering out US news and rhetoric!

            Why are you so rude to this person? You know other countries exist outside of North America and folks from anywhere in the world should be welcome on Lemmy even if they don’t know anything about US politics or whatever?
