Lol "it's unreasonable for foreigners to not know the text of our constitution!".

American stereotype.

Thats not in the least what Im saying. I actually had no idea about the wording of the US constitution before this post. But how many other fascist governments actively attacking LGBTQ rights in the last few weeks do you know? I honestly dont think anyone would have thought this was not about the US. Maybe if you havent watched the news once for the last month.

Australian conservatives absolutely use that rhetoric to attack LGBTQ people, but you don't know that because you don't watch Australian news, even though you expect Australians to have watched American news.

I honestly dont think anyone would have thought this was not about the US

American. Stereotype.

Still not American^^ Australian. Stereotype.

Im still not buying that 99% of news on Lemmy is about US fascism and news in almost every country report about it and Australians see a meme about fascism and assume its about them, not even doubting that it could be about an other constitution. That would say way more about Australians than Americans.
If there was a meme saying "Russian troops during the invasion:" or some shit, would Australians comment "I didnt know we are being invaded by Russia"?
