Observing American politics feels really strange at the moment
As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.
On one side, it's very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it's scary. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.
Americans, how do you cope? What's your take on the situation?

We live in a blue bubble so I'm just ignoring everything the next four years and saving money.
My biggest dream is my state along with the other western states just decides to leave the US and we create our own thing.
The notion that this will all blow over in four years is absurd. The damage that has already been done will take years to repair. I understand wanting to put your head in the sand, but if you do that during a rising tide, you’re gonna drown.
No I get that thinking it will go back to normal in 4 years is optimistic. But there's nothing else I can do and being optimistic is the only thing keeping me from blowing my brains out.
Now now, don’t blow your brains out if you get depressed; there’s plenty of worthier targets.
