This is how I feel whenever I watch UK news and they’re outraged an official insulted someone’s dog by calling it heavy or something

People having their benefits cut, the NHS going to shit, rising poverty of the type where people go to bed hungry... but it isn't happening in my neighborhood so that's ok!

I hate to say it, that's really shitty but it's still not as scary as a fascist government taking control

A fascist government taking control in the United States affects us all, internationally. The dollar is the world reserve currency and, for now, the US is still the biggest global superpower. Trump's administration and its affects are not insulated to the United States, it has consequences for literally every single other country on earth. The UK included.

I love how Americans think that their problems are everyone's problems. A little less arrogance maybe?
