When you ignore politics:
Except it's mostly Americans, and their politics mostly has nothing to do with me. Such is life I suppose.
Give it time, eventually we will do an imperialism to your country too.
Well, the 'politics' communities are usually used by US folks as their politics communities. It's great that Trump is doing senile-old-man things again, but I cannot vote for or against the guy anyways. So, there is no real reason for me to keep up with that drama.
I still browse through the political communities occasionally but I hate how their posts absolutely dominate the main page by default.
This is certainly what they want you to think.
The fact is that "both sides" (sorry) are selling a pill for doom. The fire meme above is whatever Trumps latest scary/dumb thing he said, or it's 40 network cameras focused on a 100 SqYd patch of a city that wants to be on the news.
It's whatever will mobilize you to donate, click, watch, buy, and yes, vote.
We only got the fire meme because we don't understand fire.
