    I’ve found the USA to have some of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Probably some of these people have been lead down dark voting paths, against their own, and the world’s, best interests. All we can really hope for is enough people speak sense persuasively enough for them to hear it. And that means being understanding, empathetic and tolerant.

      The xenophobic “haha americans are so stupid/evil” attitude I’ve been seeing as of years ago all over Reddit and now even more intensly on Lemmy is making me very worried that people aren’t gonna recognize the same disinformation that led to all this when its served to them…

      I don’t believe Americans and Europeans are as different as a lot of people seem to think. Or maybe I got dumber and more naive since my teenage years.
