5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

It’s almost like US politics have a slight impact beyond the US.
You know non USA people are not allowed to vote in the USA presidential election, right?
The arrogance is astounding.
I don’t mean to be arrogant. But I assume you realize US politics have implications worldwide. That is why many people in many countries take interest in it. Maybe it would be a good thing if US politics only affected the US, but that doesn’t seem to be the current situation.
Where do you live? I bet the US has a military base either there or within one of your neighbors. Not to mention that the US has caused or perpetuates a lot of wars your country is probably involved in now or in the past, especially if you live anywhere in Europe (who are supporting things like Israel or are in NATO), Australia, Canada, Mexico, anywhere in South America, some African countries, or East Asia. The world reserve currency is also currently the dollar. And they are a major player in all of the major international organizations like the UN security Council (the only part of the UN with teeth), NATO, the IMF, and orgs like that.
