Non-Americans: Tell Us Your Honest, Unfiltered Thoughts About The Election And U.S. Politics In General
It's been almost three weeks since Election Day in the U.S., when former president Donald Trump was elected for a second term.
As an American, I can speak for what the vibes have been in the U.S. thus far. I've seen a good chunk of flag-waving, MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporters celebrating in stores and blaring the horns of their decked-out cars on the road. I've seen my TikTok "for you" page flooded with videos of anxious young people sharing tips on what to stock up before prices hike up thanks to Trump's proposed tariffs. I've even seen a good chunk of Republican voters learn — after casting their votes — what Trump's tariff plan actually means for them, with some expressing regret over their choice. All in all, it's a bit of a shitshow over here if you ask me!
I, personally, am still attempting to process how the hell we got here, but in the meantime, I have a question for our non-American BuzzFeed readers. What's y'all's take on the state of the U.S. right now? Whether it's the election, Trump's upcoming second term, or American politics in general, we want your raw, honest opinions.
Are you all watching, horrified, at the U.S. once again electing a man who was impeached twice and found liable for sexual abuse to the country's highest political position? Did you think the outcome of the election would be different, or were you ultimately not at all surprised?
Have you kept up with the election and Trump's potential policies? Are you, too, preparing for how his tariffs could affect the global economy or the economy of your country?
Whatever your take is, we want to hear about it. Please feel free to share your opinions in the comments below or via this anonymous form. Your submissions may be included in a future BuzzFeed Community post.
