Don't you think it's quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?

With the implication that i should care about your election because of it, which still makes no sense for anyone not voting in your election, which sums up to about everyone outside of the exceptionalism capital.

I never said you should care about every news story, I said the united states affects other countries, which it absolutely does. That was in response to someone saying the US elections are not something they care about because it didn't affect them. But sure, it's not the fact that the effects exist, no it's just that I think my country is better than every other country. Spoiler alert, I've known for a long time it's not, at all.

Assholes on the internet love to assume random shit to hate people for. It true makes the world a grimmer place.

Fair enough, though I must say that for me personally, as a german, nothing at all has changed in my life between having Obama, trump or Biden in office. Of course, what goes on politically in the states eventually affects the climate here as well, I was just arguing that not caring for the day to day business of foreign domestic politics is fine. Perhaps we argued over different things unintentionally.

What you are saying has some truth to it, but I don't believe that just because you're unable to name the effects makes them non-existent. There are still things today that Reagan unleashed on the world which people aren't necessarily cognizant of, but they are still there.
