Unless you live in Eastern Europe, I wouldn't expect much fallout from Trump.
It might even turn more people off from populist movements in Europe
Also I agree with the other posters, don't let that orange turd live in your head.
Idk, gay rights in my country are expected to be decided in 1-2 years and I'm pretty sure we will not follow through with gay marriage if America doesn't. Why do I even care so much? I don't even know any openly LGBT person IRL, and just one Ukrainian! Am I too obsessed with Elon facing justice instead of a key government job offer?
America legalized gay marriage many years ago.
Gay marriage is mostly decided in the US, despite Republican bluster and Democrat worry. It is strongly supported by both parties, and while more radical Republicans are in power now, it’s quite unlikely it will change.
The policies at critical danger in the next four years are abortion, trans rights, and immigrant rights.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Unfortunately most of us don't have much power individually. Finding solidarity in our communities I think is one of the most protective things we can do for ourselves, both politically and for our mental health.
I can't really control what state actors due to Elon musk and I don't have much say in the election. I will say that I live in a swing state and I am voting for Kamala if it helps you feel any better lol
