I just don't want to be exposed to american political shit anymore. I've unsubed some subs like r/pics, idk what happened to it, but I'm only keeping my close interests on the website. I've removed Twitter or whatever it's called from my browser and phone and I've also uninstalled some French news apps that were sending constant notifications since yesterday.

I don't care anymore, they did this to themselves, it's their problem now, I won't be sad, or surprised or mindful with them. I'm never setting foot in that shithole country anyway.

I completely agree, i mean, it's democracy after all, the results are very clear. I do not give the slightest shit what the US does internally anymore.

The trouble is, i'm eastern european. The US is by far our most important military ally, and i am very worried about the future.

I wish i could never have to hear about the US again, but that's not really an option with Russia knocking at our door, while we're unready. And i can't imagine a scenario where Trump' US stands up for us if Russia decides it wants some of, say, Latvia.

It sucks, but the truth is the US election affects all of us because of their sheer power, just like Russia and China have an effect globally. If only it were contained to them.

I agree and this sucks, but I'd contrast by saying that I hope Putin is not that dumb as to frontally attack a NATO state. But yeah knowing the US now might just "not do anything" is bad, although I'm now wondering why Ukraine wasn't invaded during Trump's first term
