Observing American politics feels really strange at the moment
As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.
On one side, it's very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it's scary. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.

On the plus side, it's seems like most our our public response has ranged from "no thanks" to "here, let me warm up this poker real quick so you can go fuck yourself with it." Hopefully Poilievre is somewhere in that range and not among the other minority.
From what I read online and see in the news here, Canada seems to have a "ow yeah, bring it on, we'll kick your ass" mentality (might sound cooler than I intended but hey, maybe it really is like that!)
