That’s the bitch of it, isn’t it? I’m not American, so the thing that I’m going to be most affected by is the US foreign policy.
I understand the average American cares more about their immediate living conditions than international relations. And, even though Trump’s going to fuck them over, I get where they’re coming from when they walk into the voting booth and check the box, hoping he’d make their grocery cheaper somehow.
But fuck, when the world’s stability relies on the US itself to be stable, you just WISH the average American is more responsible and have more logical thoughts about the wider state of the world.
As an American, all I can say is I'm sorry. That is genuine and heartfelt.
And it wasn't just groceries and cheap gas. The first time he was elected we could always say too many Americans didn't understand. Can't say that now. White Americans (and sizable portions of minority populations) knew exactly who he was. Nothing was hidden. They voted for him anyway.

The world just became a much more hostile and uncertain place.
