    In extreme capitalism, yes.

    I don’t live there so I view trump and musk like evening entertainment, and for that purpose they are up for the job.

    You need the village idiots for a laugh sometimes.

      I know it’s hard to take pity on the US, but real people do suffer from the consequences of these monsters. Also, pretty much any cancer the US dreams up has a nasty habit of spreading elsewhere. Don’t assume you will stay forever safe from the tyranny abroad.

        Hi American here. One of these men is the richest man in the world. To assume his behaviors aren’t globally reaching is wrong. The other, if elected, would control the most powerful military in the world. Of course well suffer here but the influence and reach of these two should not be understated.

        I know. One example, without the US supporting Ukraine, Russia will win and they will continue taking over more European countries. So it very much affects millions of people what these clowns are doing, just that one example.

        Alla you have big tech that is driving the entire path to dystopia with absolutely no privacy.
