I’m interested to hear from people around the world on a few subjects. Answer as many questions as you like.

  1. What country are you from?

  2. In general, what do you think of the USA?

  3. Has this viewpoint changed over the last few years?

  4. On a global scale, how you think the actions of the USA will play out over the next few years.

  5. How has the US actions affected you personally this last year?

  6. Anything else you want to add.

    I predict that the military will be deployed on streets in many states to intimidate voters and manipulate the midterm elections this November 2026. I wonder if many Democrats who will actually vote against and stand up to Trump will get elected… Other than that, I haven’t a clue what’ll happen going forward, but I’d bet on less versus more resistance, unfortunately.

    I find it very eerie that so few people I know irl, in Toronto, are talking about what’s going on south of the border. For most, it seems business as usual.

    The pro-fascist capture of news and social media, so many people only accessing the news through social media nowadays, and the dumbing down of online literacy and critical thinking through ‘genAI’ (eg, search summaries, chatbots) really helps Trump and every fascist shitbag like him commit their evil.

    To be honest, I’m having a hard time coping with the state of the US and rest of the world (eg, Ukraine, Palestine, Venezuela, erosion of online privacy) and most people’s business as usual approach
