Argentina, Brazil, Germany to an extent, France is flirting with it, Italy, the Netherlands (my country) is fucking around and finding out, Hungary has been at it since before it was cool, Indonesia elected a literal was criminal. And that’s all the cases I know about.
It's obviously pretty stupid, but we shouldn't act like the Americans are especially dumb, this is happening all over the globe.
People see: "economy is bad" so people vote out whoever is in power and vote in whoever screams the loudest that they have a magical fix. I would be shocked if the average trump, AFD etc. voter spends more then 15 minutes researching their vote (outside the endless stream of political content on yt and tiktok).
Wouldn’t laugh to much, the guy has retail space in my local retailer and as an employee I can tell you it sells reasonably well. I live in the netherlands btw.
I think that guy sells millions worth of that crap.
Oh this is really cool, thank you. And welcome to lemmy (:
