How does the US president change the view of the UK? Trump is a moron, reminds me at times of Idiocracy, esp. with UFC cage fights. However, the link to the UK eludes me
Most people on here are in the US, and the baseline of "scary" implied by that (and many other) posts is definitely not where it should be.
"Moron" doesn't nearly do it justice. The US saw a paramilitary force lead by an open racist (he was recently hanging out with open nazis on a "remigration" conference) executing a political opponent right on the street on camera, with zero consequences. A substantial proportion of the US cheered for literal concentration camps. Budget money is pretty openly funnelled to Trump's family and friends. This is not "Trump is a moron", this is a catastrophe and democratic collapse that is not nearly in the same category as "oh but what if they use the technology for surveillance".
I suspect that this obsession with the UK is just a coping mechanism.
Do you not count the US as a western democracy?
