America seems to be a complete cluster fuck shithole of a country lately. The rest of the world is pretty dire but America seems to take the lead. When you elected a corrupt media personality to lead who is now being charged with election fraud and multiple other crimes where he tried to install himself as a dictator and a large portion of the population not only lap up his bullshit but are ready to outright kill people in his name and still believe he did nothing wrong is all the proof needed. The grooming by the church, the grooming by republicans etc just sounds awful. Now admittedly I don't live there and my only insight is from stories that make national headlines I have to believe it's not as bad as it sounds, but the majority of sane Americans I talk to don't give me much hope. Not claiming that where I am in the world is much better, but we can still say at least it's not as bad as America.
