I don't know what to reply. I live far away but still on the same world. Shady politicians here follow what kind of stuff works in the US and copy the arguments from people like Ron DeSantis. I've even seen his face on the news when he visited Bavaria a few months ago. Imho German politicians should know better than take a picture with someone who has proper neo-nazi followers.

The USA is way ahead in being backwards. It makes me sad, too, and my solidarity to you.

I can't imagine how it feels to have that many biggots and idiots around. And I suppose it depends on where exactly you live. But I think we're headed the wrong direction. I have nice neighbors, though. I don't think the situation here would look desperate to me if I wasn't reading the news. So I'm still optimistic. But I have no solution for the short or medium term in the USA. There seem to be nice people around and also sometimes good things happen. Hope it turns out okay in the end, even if it looks desperate now.
