    First off, I’m not American.

    Second, your comment is invalid. This isn’t an “us vs them” situation. It was up until very recently, but the Republicans decided to breach the wall. During the leadup from 2000 to 2016, American elections became far more entrenched. Newt Gingrich and Fox are mostly to blame for this, successfully turning republicans from a political group to essentially a lifestyle. The Democrats did this in kind, to an extent, but on a much later game. That wasn’t turned up until 2016. However during the 2016 election, the leader of the Republican Party and a slew of other Republican party officials conspired with a foreign power to influence the election and then committed numerous federal crimes to do so. They also committed numerous federal crimes after doing so.

    This isn’t “us vs them”. This is literally “Democracy vs Fascism”.

    So I’d kindly suggest shutting the fuck up and not downplaying literal fucking fascism as being ‘the other side’.
