Not affected is a bit of a joke. Trade, industries and Russia+Israel have effects in many countries and all would be pretty different under a Harris US government
Living outside of the US, I must say that we don’t really feel it all that much. In terms of this post in regards to free speech, the us has no effect whatsoever
I realize that the us is a large country and I also realize that the culture there often has folks believe that the world is the us, but really, we’re all looking at the dumpster fire and waiting for it to pass
This is the part of your comment I was replying to:
The majority of the world is not affected by your regime
I’d argue that’s pretty inaccurate for the reasons listed in my comment.
I completely appreciate that you personally don’t feel it all that much. To be blunt, I doubt most US citizens do either. To be blunter, nor do many citizens in countries that are thought of as authoritarian / lacking free speech like Russia or China.
I can’t be bothered justifying this too much. Canada and Australia elections completely flipped in huge swings. India, China and Russia are a lot more chummy than they have been. Whole trade routes have changed like Brasil sending soy beans to China now. US is trying to directly punish Brazil with tariffs for sentencing an (rightwing) ex-President for an attempted coup. The US is bailing out Argentina to help the rightwing Presidents economic plan succeed. NATO, and hence europe, has had effects with Trump flip flopping. It’s hard to imagine Trump’s flip flopping and chaos talking about things like turning Gaza into resorts didn’t contribute to Israel taking stronger militant action in the middle east. USAID was dropped with projected deaths around 14 million.
True, large corporations still have large effects on legislation in most countries, and your own personal groceries / interest repayments may not have changed that much but I think that’s a bit different than trying to say there was little difference globally between these two people being in power

I’m not from the US nor do I live there.

Different. Not hugely different.
