My "politics" is because I don't think that any politically relevant (especially for the rest of the world) decision in the US is taken in or by the appointed institutions. And recent events, including the news we are commenting on here, are confirmation of this.

I'll let you onto a little secret about Europeans: we don't don't give half a shit about the US and their "politics".
You may well argue that we have your bases in our territory, NATO and your social networks influencing our lives, but I see that as our internal problem of still having to grow a proper pair, rather than an interesting consequence of whatever medieval situation you're brewing in there.
And you wish you were in a cyberpunk dystopia. You're in a boring one.
And a huge disruption of astronomical research.
You guessed it, I am not American.
Nor I have time to spend following the domestic politics of a country that was decadent when it was founded by terrorists (according to its own Constitution).
I am surprised still because this is 2023 and you are behaving literally medieval de facto instituting a new kind of feudalism gibing power to these people.
What's surprising is that the US does nothing about it
Is that a trick question? Because my answer is a resounding yes.
In Italy I was a member of UAAR (The Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics) and we supported the legal costs of people battling against crucifixes in the workplace, compulsory prayers and even acoustic pollution caused by the church bells. This was in the late '90s to early '00s.
Thanks a lot! I didn't even realize there were those connectors on the card!
Bad publicity is bad for business. And that's all the US really cares about.
Without the need to resort to blatant racist theories, my bet is still on tax arrangements.
