I certainly see the vitriol against the US on r/europe which seems like it has more news about the United States than Europe.
Can’t help but think it’s orchestrated by Russian bots.
You do realize the current government won the elections and the president won the popular vote right
Maybe the president of the USA can do something about the president of the USA being authoritarian
Hi, here in America we also know this is true. :) Just riding it out til the regime of crazy falls over. When it happens, there will be much rejoicing.
That's the story many Europeans are hearing from their hand rectangles.

Sure is a bold statement considering Spain was a dictatorship as recently as 1975.

They should study political philosophy a bit more so they don’t say foolish things.
America is very clearly a legitimate democracy, even if who was voted in office and the actions of that democratically elected government don’t align with your expectations or world view.
I didn’t vote for the guy. But I did vote. And as a poll worker I can tell you first hand that we ran a free and fair election as we have for any year I can think of. Legitimate Democracy. Period.
