Reminder: You do *not live in America

Like a lot people in Ireland, I paid too much attention to the drama happening stateside last time the orange fella was president, to the point where I was tuning out of events happening at home that were actually relevant to me. Looking back, I could have ignored 90% of the news coming out of there, it was mostly just theater. I don't want to make the same mistake again. Yes, politics in Ireland is a bit boring by comparison, but there's nothing more cringe than talking about the US mid term elections or Roe vs Wade while having little or nothing to say about your local representative.

*obvious caveat for those of you who do ;)
