America's crazy polititians are a direct and indirect influence on polish ones.

Correction: Everyone is still allowed to make fun of American's crazy politicians, there's just more non-American politicians in the pool to also make fun of

We all import american bullshit, I saw some dumbas talking about trans people and Biden on tv. I live in a small Balkan shithole, but those our the issues we face here. It spilled over to the dumb shits, the reality based community is shrinking

It's less wacky politicians (though there undoubtedly are some that actually believe that) and more nationalist propaganda - showing Poland as an island of righteousness against the removed west or something. It's an attempt by the far-right Law and Justice Party to gain support via culture war and shocking people into disgust and hoping they back you based on that. Even at the cost of pretty blatant lies.

It works on my family, at least in part. 😕

Nah, it's just American politics imported. Estonian far right party tried it with gay people but it got them ridiculed instead because same sex marriage wasn't even legan then but they made it into a hot enough of an issue that after losing our government signed a law that does legalise it starting next year.

I'm guessing Estonia will get the "save the children" narrative for our next national election, I'm hoping that will end up making stuff better for trans people instead.

Now imagine we in Poland have not only this bullshit but also the imported american bullshit.
