I agree to most of your post, but "We mostly feel sorry for the people of the USA."?
No, not exactly! Trump has been in office before and it was obvious to the world what he and his MAGA fascists were planning for this term ("Project 2025").
Still, 1/3 decided to actively vote him into power, and another 1/3 couldn't be bothered to even go to the ballot.
I'm mostly angry at the Americans!
