public discourse and the political scene are actually really interesting right now over here but i find it so HARD to engage because there’s so much fundamentalist right-wing bullshit here as well. and it’s too close. It gives me way more powerful willies than shit about the U.S. or U.K. or any other place. There’s actually SO MANY people who are complete shitheads in this country it’s so frustrating and baffling and ultimately exhausting.
