        Yeah but when you see a rise in broken, sociopathic politicians in one country, the response isn’t supposed to be “hold my Paczki and watch THIS”

        Counter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.

        “Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.”

      Correction: Everyone is still allowed to make fun of American’s crazy politicians, there’s just more non-American politicians in the pool to also make fun of

      We all import american bullshit, I saw some dumbas talking about trans people and Biden on tv. I live in a small Balkan shithole, but those our the issues we face here. It spilled over to the dumb shits, the reality based community is shrinking

      Nah, it’s just American politics imported. Estonian far right party tried it with gay people but it got them ridiculed instead because same sex marriage wasn’t even legan then but they made it into a hot enough of an issue that after losing our government signed a law that does legalise it starting next year.

      I’m guessing Estonia will get the “save the children” narrative for our next national election, I’m hoping that will end up making stuff better for trans people instead.
