No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

    “It seems to me most Americans here know what’s going on”

    1/3 didn’t vote and a 1/3 voted for this. so by no definition do most people have a fucking clue.

      Actually it’s pretty clear a significant portion of the American population is enthusiastic about this. I don’t know what is provocative about pointing out that Americans are renowned for their racism, transphobia, and misogyny. This country had literal slaves for 200 years, has only let women vote for less than 100 years, and still pretends the Civil War was about states rights. Open your eyes: this IS what America wants, and who America has decided to become.

      The other day I was on Facebook and a dude that flat-out refused to vote for Harris because of her history in California as a prosecutor, posted that Trump was a complete idiot when it came to economics…

      I was like bro you didn’t even vote… You and on a rant about how she was horrific at that anything would be better… And now here we are…

      STFU bro

      From what I see, most Americans here on Lemmy seems to know better than most Americans on average.

        I don’t think that’s indicative though. Sure people who comment on a political post have a better understanding of politics than average.

      If a third didnt vote, then 2/3s haven’t got a clue.
