Sadly, I mastered the ability to feel empathy.

Hmm, you might not fit in here then, we like to shoot first and ask questions later.

The good news is that most people don't care what the president says, so as long as Trump doesn't start WW3 or a civil war, we should be alright. If not, well, at least we had a good run.

My impression as someone from Europe is that people wouldn't even care if Trump started any war, as long as it isn't named "Civil War" or "WW3"

Fair. A civil war an WW3 impacts us directly, any other war would just run up our national debt and therefore isn't an issue. Bombing brown people is fine, we draw the line at shortages at the store (that's why we to war against Covid, after all).
