    How is this surprising to you?

    Half of the US votes for christian nationalist theological fascists that have already successfully banned everything to do with lgtbq people existing in many parts of the country, and about 1/3 of the US population believes in all or significant parts of the insanely hateful and delusional QAnon conspiracy universe.

    You must not be American, or follow American domestic politics closely?

    The Republicans control Congress which means the Democrats cannot pass any legislation, and are in fact bogged down fighting off insane nonsense to basically either somehow give more money to the already wealthy, or fighting off insane shit to take away even more basic rights for minorities.

    Its basically illegal to get an abortion now in half the country.

    And Trump has now multiple times just said he will be a dictator if he wins in 2024, and is currently leading in the polls.

    Like, if you are European, can I fake marry your daughter or something to get the hell out of this collapsing basket case of a society?
