US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s return

It’s unpopular with those living in the US as well.

- We’re pretty dumb and ignorant. Our education system is awful and incredibly inequitable (funded by local property tax so only nice areas have adequately funded schools). I recently read that like half the country reads below a 6th grade level. And we have an overwhelming level of right wing disinformation coming from “news” outlets like FOX, OAN, etc.
  Even with all that, about 1/3 of the country loves Trump like he’s a god, 1/3 hates him like he’s the devil and 1/3 is completely tuned out of politics. Shit is about to get real bad here and no one will be able to ignore the economic disaster so I think those numbers will change in the next few months.
- voter apathy
  he didn’t win by as many votes as the largest election against him (2020)
  he was never popular among all people, but is among voting people
  electoral college doesn’t make sense
  We have a broken election system here in the states, but not a popular president.
- I mean... As an American, that's certainly a valid question. The short answer is that the modern American political two-party system has become the biggest shitshow in American history. For a longer explanation, I saw a video on a Canadian PeerTube instance that really explains the situation better than I could.
  Here you go.
- I think most people don't realize they are mad about the repercussions of a somewhat "unchecked" capitalist system and point the blame (rightfully) at "insiders" and "elites" who they believe are enriching themselves at our expense. The Reich wing media also works wonders at directing "class conflict" into "social conflict" blaming immigrants and people who aren't the same as them for all of our issues...
  Where they fall flat is voting for the absolute embodiment of capitalist greed and somehow believe that because he isn't an "insider" that means he gives a shit about them...
  Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
- Simple answer is that the majority of Americans still either completely agree with him, or they just hate the Dems so badly they'd vote for a potato before they vote for anyone with a D next to their name.
  That or we continue entertaining the January 6 type of fantasy where we believe the entire thing was rigged.

I hate living in the headlines of Plague Inc.

Uh... The US has been globally unpopular for as long as I've been alive.

Yes, but not as much as they are now. That really says something.
- True enough, but that's mostly because they alienated the people who didn't already hate America, like Europeans who thought they were too special (and white) to get the Uncle Sam boot and Chinese who didn't care as long as they got to export cheap goods. Trump's rampage, weirdly enough, has failed to make the people who already hate America hate it more.
USians become aware of how unpopular the US is, now that they agree with that sentiment
Edit: It me, I hate it here

How the fuck is Russia going UP?

Europe and North America are only 13% of the world population. Most of the rest of the world view the war in Ukraine differently, and are more concerned with wars elsewhere like in Palestine where the West is “the bad guy”.
- Yes it certainly does seem that no one cares about any other thing than crushing the west at the moment. Which won’t save any of the Muslims in China! It will not save anyone in Pakistan. There are actually several other decades long genocides going on at the moment but if you ask anybody they have no idea.
possibly due to the coups in Africa?
Tankies aren't spreading their crap for nothing lol
- Ehh, good point. Humorously, a lot of those Tankies are Yankees. Which I will never understand. Setting fire to your own house to please your neighbor who doesn’t give a shit about you?
  Let’s coin a new word. YankTank? TankYank?

Lol

How could it have gotten worse? Is it negative now?

Don't blame me, I didn't vote for that orange shit stain.
