    I quickly went through your profile and saw you frequently post about U.S politics. May I ask why? I don’t mean to come as offensive, I’m just really curious. Have you immigrated or are you an international student?

      I’m not the person you asked, but my guess is for the entertainment, but also because it’s something fucked up that has real-world implications. To me, it’s like watching a slow train wreck. It’s just as horrible but endlessly fascinating and a tiny bit cray cray.

      I also want to point out that US politics tends to dominate in foreign news outlets, so it probably gathers a bigger audience than one would expect from inside the States. Trump may say the US has no exports, but it’s clear their biggest export is infotainment.

      you frequently post about U.S politics

      Do I? 🤔

      I mainly post ‘leopard ate my face’ kind of things.

      Other than that I don’t think I’ve posted much about US politics. In fact, I’ve added Trump and Musk to filtered keywords because I’m sick of hearing about them.
