    As a European, I just can no longer follow the political discourse in the States. Whether in the form of memes or news - you can’t be serious.

        I know. But since then it has only become more ridiculous.

        Edit: I can’t tell the difference between Alex Jones and Donald Trump. The only difference I can see is that one still is somewhat in business and one is your candidate for the next presidential election. And to me it seems like they are both in the same business.

          It’s easy - one of them owes half a billion dollars in damages to families for claiming they were actually crisis actors and their kids really weren’t murdered by a mass shooter and the other one owes a few hundred million for a civil case of sexual assault that he’s challenging (and will probably have reduced some but not eliminated) in between prepping for four criminal trials (one of which is currently happening) - and THAT one is currently running for president.

            I see. Not the agitator that is still spreading misinformation but the one with the fraudulent academy who is also spreading misinformation, owes the state of New York half a billion dollars for fraud and is apparently selling NFTs, golden sneakers, bibles and possibly state secrets - that one is running for president. Got it.

      Do you think Europe doesn’t have pollution in agricultural run off?

      It’s so difficult trying to get peopl here in non-america to care about real problems when everyone is under the impression america is the only place with problems.

        In Germany, my home country, and also in the EU, there are of course also numerous problems - as in other parts of the world.
