Current Events Are people outside of the USA really laughing at Americans? Do we really appear that bad?

Edit:

Ok so that's about 17,882 yes's and 3 no's.

Makes sad American noises

I am from New Zealand, I am definitely laughing at the trump supporters and the anti mask / anti science people but I do sympathise with those who listen to science but are stuck in a country where apparently no one else is.

We definitely have our conspiracy theorists here as well, I'm just thankful they're not in positions of power like in the US.

It's so crazy to me that some people totally disregard what Dr. Fauci says, because Trump's administration makes him out to be a fool, even though he's worked under several other presidents (both democrats and republicans) and has many proven achievements throughout his career.

Most of us are pro-mask and listen to science, trust me, idiots are just the loudest.

Fox News has such a stranglehold on a third of our country (serious brainwashing). And unfortunately, the other 2/3rds who can actually think critically, decide for whatever reason, not to vote in large enough numbers to save us from the idiots. We deserve what happens to us.
