Gods, this is so accurate. A part of me wish we could just isolate the U.S. for a bit, because I'd be curious to see how that'd affect the discourse in the rest of the world. The rise of the far right and Trump legitimately being voted in as president legitimised the far-right movements in my country as well. Last election people were literally pushing for the stop-and-frisk BS to become a thing here.

I hate that I know what stop-and-frisk even is.

We need a new internet, without shootings and two party politics!

Yup, they're bringing the whole world down with them

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 13 points 1 year ago

You're just jealous it's not Europe's job anymore.

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Ahah yes, we're taking turns

On the bright side, if civilization doesn't collapse we'll eventually all get to complain about why the news is Chinese politics 24/7

Like the rest of the worlds shit is any better. Right wing facists are on the rise everywhere. Ours are just fucking stupider.

Italy facists, brexit, climate, etc fucking whole world is a dumpster.

I'm not saying European politicians are fundamentally better, I'm just saying it's been a while since one of them got their mugshot taken for going to jail under election fraud charges 🤷

[-] zurchpet@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Some of them would deserve that treatment too, I'm sure.

He wasn't legitimately voted in, though.

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

In 2016? I would’ve loved to see Hillary be President but that’s not what we got.

Every time I mentioned Trump on Reddit’s world news sub, I got shouted down for talking about “irrelevant” US politics. I tried to explain his potential impact on the politics of other countries, but they didn’t want to hear it.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Trump was important for the rest of the world when he was... you know... the president of the US... now it's just a little mediocre guy and I understand that all the little advances in bringing him to justice are pretty important to you guys, but I couldn't care less.

If he ever gets elected again for some reason, then we will see the potential impact, but for now he is pretty irrelevant im afraid.

Sounds like Europeans need to step up on being a dumpster fire if they want as much coverage as us. Be the change you want to see in the world!

[-] Wats0ns@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 year ago

Hey well seems that most of EU is working on it sadly

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 16 points 1 year ago

Between Meloni, Órban, PiS, the True Finns, etc. I think there are plenty of dumpster fires

Try being Canadian. We've lost all sense of self-identity here

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I knew you guys were screwed when i read about Canadian screaming about "the 1st amendment" when getting arrested by the police.

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

We talk more about Trump here than our own politicians.

And our politicians are Trump supporters.

(I don't know which of these you're supposed to share, but it's a good community).

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !notuspolitics@lemmy.world

This is so accurate you could use it as a scope to shoot a fly from a rat ass all the way from across the next town.

[-] WrittenWeird@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

American local news cycles from city to county to state to national, and then starts over again.

American national news is just one outrage after another.

ITT Europeans once again acting like American politics don't affect them in any way.

Anyone else think it's funny that Britain got Boris around the same time America got trump?
