That 18% number is based on polls that may be kinda susp, but even if it were true a lot of what I've heard from the dumbass gallery has been:

"Cool, then our dollar would finally be equal to USD" and "It'll be easier to get flights to the US and Disneyland" or "Then we can vote in a proper government they're and fix things"

I doubt the appetite for such goes much past a lack of critical thinking into what the realities would be

This may be so but as we've seen in other contexts - e.g., Brexit and the last US election - these are exactly the people that can do incredible damage that can last generations.

Absolutely. I'd also hazard that a certain portion of these "ideas" actually come from agents working social media etc to promote them .

They're not just throwing out "DEI bad" but also "and wouldn't you like..."

Hi, American here.

A lot of us have been saying that for about a decade and been wrong at about every turn.
