      Without knowing what posts they’re talking about, probably. I try not to drag US politics with me everywhere I go, but the fact that my country is ten years into the dumbest fascist coup in history and they still might succeed in knocking over our democracy is mentally invasive in a way that’s hard to put into words, and it tends to distort the lens through which one sees the world. Now that I reflect on it, I don’t think a week has gone by in the past decade where I haven’t thought about Trump, MAGA, and the mortal threat they pose to me and my friends. Maybe a few weeks in the beginning of the Biden admin, when I genuinely thought we had dodged the bullet and the Republican party would ditch Trump, but even then I knew the fascist problem hadn’t gone away completely and would be back. Its constant presence tends to make me see things through the lens of US politics even in places where it might be a reach. Combine that with the fact that there are just a lot of Americans with internet access and I get why it gets annoying.

      Sorry y’all have to hear about it all the time, if it’s any consolation I too am tired of it and hope we can get our shit together, but it’s a tense time and probably will be for the next while.

      I occasionally see non-americans pretending to be right-wing americans, I have no idea why.

      I have never seen a non-american pretend to be american center right or leftist.
