if you want to know why Musk/Trump's shit is instantly toxic abroad but popular at home, it's because abroad they don't have a cheerleading pro-Trump media and a backstop of corrupt judges to clean up after every stupid decision. Instead it just looks stupid and cruel.

Maybe if he wasn’t such a Putin puppet and acted more like the leader of the US, he might get respect.
We haven't managed to stop them
Maybe the rest of the world will get some traction against this regime
Most random Joe's in a bar can tell you basically what's going on politically here, while in America you say one wrong word and you're 10 minutes in on Ivermectin.
Call it what it actually is. Don't give credit where it isn't due.
It's not just stupidity doing the heavy lifting, it's the existential threats.
Let's be honest: Americans are stupid. the education system here sucks along with the press.
Plus: Democrats & Republicans are OWNED by wealthy interests. We have no democracy here.
Now imagine hearing these radically anti-government folks threaten to "annex" you. It immediate translates to threat of total destruction.

The media can point at all of their problems and say "At least we're not America."
Trump and Musk's approval rating is lower than 30% on everything.
In some areas it is lower than 10%.
The pro-Trump media has beliefs and opinions that do not match up with the citizens' own.
1) the MEDIA
2) the COURTS.
My dudes, it's YOUR government doing this. This difference is that the rest of the world sees it 😫
Every action taken so far is in some way lawless, from creation of fake agencies like DOGE, to decimating real gov’t functions, & imposing tariffs in a non-wartime situation. It is ALL unlawful!
US press: He is "refefining boundaries."
Trump, however, claims to have annexed your nose.
