No days of rest when democracy and human rights are being destroyed.

This. This is impacting everyone globally.

Sure, we're all sick of US politics, but the world order is being upended and democratic institutions are being thrashed. What's happening in America is spreading like a cancer across the world.

It sucks, but this is the shit sandwich we're all dealing with right now. And Americans are the ones feeding it to everyone.

Presidents in the past recognized the impacts of their words and actions, that cause global ripple effects. Seems lost knowledge to those in charge now.

Sorry the hell we’re living through is agitating to you. Imagine how we feel…

You made your bed, now lie in it

I didn’t choose to live here, and you don’t know who I am and what I do to fight this shit. I also find the air of self-superiority irritating. Most places are one or two bad elections away from the same shit we’re dealing with. You’re presumably from the UK; you clearly have your own violent right wing populist movement festering.

Have a hard time believing our fellow lemmings voted for the trumpet, so it's not really on them.

My block list and filters are constantly being tested and updated. The shear volume of horror leads to things leaking through into my feed unfortunately but it’s usually surrounded by sanity and real human connection.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

There's not going to be much left to block soon.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days ago

I just added "minneapolis" to my list of content filters and continue living my life. There's a 21st century land war going on few thousand kilometers from where I live. I just can't make myself care about US domestic politics.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -3 points 4 days ago

Yes because I don't really care or pay much attention to the usa apart from the americaposters on lemmy
