    I saw a person here in western europe with a trump flag... A giant fucking trump flag hanging out their apartment window... These people are absolutely fucked in the head.

    It makes perfect sense when you realize that Trump is a symbol to international fascists. Let's not forget that after 2016 the world shifted significantly to the right, and had normalized fascist rhetoric to 30% of the population in one of the largest nations in the world

    Looks like born, raised, and lives in Malaysia.

    From knowyourmeme:

    In the latter half of the 2010s, Cheong continued to grow an audience as a conservative Trump supporter on X under the handle @stillgray. Since 2017, he's worked for the Daily Caller, a website co-founded by broadcast journalist Tucker Carlson. His commentary on U.S. politics is often undercut by people pointing out the fact that Cheong is a Malaysian native and resident.

    broadcast journalist Tucker Carlson

    Fuck whoever wrote this. He's a fuckin propagandist that talks on an opinion show... For him to be considered a journalist is a gigantic insult to journalism for fucks sake... Opinion shows are not journalism.

    That's nothing! Trump was born in SE Asia and was adopted by US citizens, but never took his naturalization test, so he's not a citizen either. Can you believe that? I mean sure you can, you believed that other thing.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Honesty is not a conservative trait. It never has been.

    There are so many comments on the US election from people who have zero participation in it.

    By itself that’s fine, but point it out please. “I’m not a US voter, but” or something. I get these bizarre takes that make sense only after realizing the commenter isn’t familiar with US elections - which is good news. Because what I’m used to are bizarre takes from people who are (or should be) familiar with them.

    It might be due to the fact that I mostly consume media in English, but I hear more about US elections than I heard about the EU parliament elections which were last month. A lot of people are interested, and for good reasons - it's going to influence much more than US itself. I don't think you can go back to keeping your elections to yourself without keeping your military, pop cultural and corporate influence to yourself aswell.

    No and that’s totally valid, but when I see something like “Joe Biden should do X or he’s going to lose the vote!” My immediate context fir that is that it’s a US voter saying that. So my response might be something like, “you moron, he obviously can’t do that because of the Bollocks vs. Chowderhead decision of 1972.”

    BUT - If I were aware that they were saying that as an interested observer from another country, I could say”oh, well here it’s different because of Bollocks. See what had happened was . . .”

    It’s just a fundamentally different conversation.

    If people post on international forums, internationals will respond.

    Does anybody know how the 'Readers added context' feature works? It seems to be really effective and I'm surprised it was invented by X of all places.

    It was added by Twitter before Elon broke it.

    "Trusted individuals" get to propose context, and it's vetted by a bunch of other trusted individuals. Everyone then votes if it's good or not. Context that is too contentious will probably get removed. If you keep proposing notes everyone hates then you lose the status.

    I've got to hand it to the folks that are staying on Twitter to dunk on jerks in the Clarification Box.

    Ian Miles Cheong's Twitter-fame is baffling to me. I often follow conservative people on there if they're in an important position of some sort, but this guy has accomplished nothing that makes his perspective more relevant than the average schmuck.

    I wonder who is "we" in this case and if they had reservations about Trump before

    I remember this nazi turned turbofeminist...turned nazi again I guess. This guy pops up every once in a while. No principles, all attention whoring.

    This guy is so goddamn weird. I would love to find out what the rusty gears in his brain are doing to make him like this. Dude. Mind your own country's shit.

    I'm a little surprised nobody has tried to blame Hamilton's "My Shot" for the attempt on Ole Donny Littlefinger's life.

    It would be extremely funny to see Lin Manuel Miranda having to apologize for advocating political violence, while a bunch of Groypers scream about doing a second American Civil War over their friendly fire incident.
