Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

You're still turning it into an American issue. The world sure is concerned about the ellection but at the same time, at least from where i am, people are not too concerned. They are prepared and wong fall for the same junk that they did last time. That imo is a sign of hope for at lest the rest of us.
Again, all of that makes sense, but you seem surprised that Americans would relate to the world through the lens of being in America, and I gotta tell you, that's perfectly normal.
It's not surprising that people who chose to go to the hope-posting community are talking about and thinking about the big thing that made tons of people feel hopeless.
You're damn right I see it as an American issue, LOOK WHERE WHAT COMMUNITY YOURE IN. WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT FEELS HOPELESS RIGHT NOW??? 😅
We get it. You're not an American. The people you're interacting with are, which would have been pretty intuitive if you noticed what comm you're in given what's happening here, and it's not anyone else's failing that you didn't realize where you're at, or the context of the interaction. Have some empathy is all I'm saying.
Regardless, hope you have a good one. Take care.
