I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
Install the Lemmy tools script.
Browse to Lemmy
Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

Like it or not, the US has tremendous influence around the world. The rise in populism may not appeal to you, but that doesn’t mean that it may not be coming for you.

Some people are active in their own political communities without needing the likes of their online meme communities and other peripheral interests being flooded by political discussion from Americans.

An important step towards reducing America’s tremendous influence around the world is to divest ourself from participation in their political sphere at a cultural and national level.

We don’t need to constantly validate Americans that their country is the political centre of the entire world. That’s part of the problem.

Again, true. But still don't give a shit about US politics and personalities.

I don't blame you in the slightest. I'm American and I'm sick to death of the clown show.

That’s your choice. Godspeed
