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?

    Americans, how do you cope?

    Alcohol

    What’s your take on the situation?

    I’m leaving the country. My friends who are unable to are getting sterilized.

      Move to Belgium! We have lots of quality beers and delicious fries!

          They just made my gender illegal to put on a passport

          So TECHNICALLY they can’t do you harm either… No passport no way of punishing you (I know they can, but I’m just trying to lighten the mood a little bit. Humor as coping mechanism and all that)

        I can vouch for that, Belgian fries are by far the superior kind. In a way I’m glad I don’t live there or I’d have the circumference of a small planet by now.

          You get used to it when you live here, trust me. Only once a week, as is tradition!
