As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.

On one side, it’s very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it’s scary. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.

Americans, how do you cope? What’s your take on the situation?

    This is the most positive take I’ve read on this topic so far. I hope it’s true and it’s all more circus than it seems, but it’s scary tho

      Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of decisions being made that I strongly disapprove of, but I just want to caution that we have a tendency to overwhelm online conversations and completely lose perspective.

      Real life in the US is very different than it is presented online.
