    As a Swede I read news about the American prez ellection while on the bus home from work, and I just get madder and madder, then I suddenly realize that I am not a US citizen and don’t even live in the US, and I relax…

    …then I remember that we are part of NATO now…

        That won’t relax them. Other NATO countries don’t want to pay for defence. They want the US to organize it and do most of the defending so they can pay for social services.

      I remember ribbing an english friend about brexit just before trump got elected. then I was all like, yeah but he will be gone in a few years. Now I am here with a decade later being just a few years away and looking down the barrel of him having taken one of the two parties that win elections over here.
