Observing American politics feels really strange at the moment (lemm.ee)

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?

Oh if you're into politics, it's very interesting to follow hahaha. It's definitely not ideal, but better than a two party system for sure. Also not that difficult of a system, but for outsiders it can be a lot I think. I also struggle to fully understand the American system, with the value per state etc. Forming a new government is fun and exciting, plus it gives you some hope that a terrible minister will lose his function four years later

I'm definitely interested in other country's politics. My own's not so much since they're insanely depressing feeling these days. 🫤

The american system is deeply flawed, so I don't think you should try that hard to wrap your head around it honestly. Nothing to be learned except what to avoid 🫠
