No. When half the politicians in a world superpower are losing their goddamn minds it affects us all. Uncomfortable world events are not going to be nearly contained where anyone can choose to – or accidentally – ignore them.
Oh, I thought the USA news and politics community might be about news and politics in the USA, but it's good that it's the same sort of snappy tweet screenshots that are in the hundred other meme communities that come up with the "Everything" filter on. What a relief.
Question, is it OK to post Calvin and Hobbes and "yiff" porn here too? It just feels like those are too uncomfortable and important to contain in several other Lemmy communities too.
Do you genuinely think furry bullshit and polotical news events are equally impactful in the world?
No, of course not! That was a joke.
...Nor do I think self-amused tweets count as political news.
