    As an EU citizen, we want good relations with USA, It’s 100% Trump and Musk who are ruining it.
    They are literally insane, and USA needs to remove them. Unless they do, I guess we can’t be friends anymore.

      Half of the voters voted for Trump, so no thanks, I don’t want to have good relations with the US. I want to isolate them as much as possible.

        You are right, the problem is very much a widespread attitude in USA.
        They need to modernize their democracy, and they need to modernize their interpretation and regulation of what free speech is.
        The 2 main reasons USA is as fucked up as it is now, is that the 2 party system undermines democracy, and way too much misinformation is allowed.
        You can’t build democracy on lies.

        I really really hope Americans will wake up soon, and realize this.

        Half of the people who voted*

        Trump got about the same number of votes this time as he did in the previous election (marginally less, I believe).

        It makes little difference to point out, but it’s good to remember that the Dems are a bunch of feckless corporate shills who lost the support of their voters, and about a third to half the country simply doesn’t vote.

        Trump is a symptom and the end result of deeply systemic and cultural issues here, and as an American, I hope you guys make it hurt. Maybe then we’ll wake up to the problems here. I doubt it, but at least the economic collapse here will hopefully spare the rest of the world from a dementia patient with daddy Putin’s leash on his collar swinging the biggest military budget in the world around like he’s got something to compensate for.
