A lot of people acting like Trump is a uniquely American problem because of some integral flaw in the character of Americans. Folks sure aren't looking too close to their own right wings, which is how America got where it is now.

There is a general rise in stupid awful fascism around the world, and slagging off Americans as particular idiots isn't going to help you get ready to fight your own fascists. Especially when you realize they might be your neighbors or your kids.

@quinn Not unique, but your version is more destructive than any other.

And yes, the rest of the globe can hold each and every US (non)voter accountable for that - you let it happen in your place.

Sweden has its share of issues, today and historically, but it's been centuries since that mattered outside Sweden. You guys, and the citizens of other hyper-/superpowers, are accountable today.

Own it. Fix it. We will help as we can.
