Euro: "I can't believe those crazy Americans want guns to be LEGAL!"
AoV: It's a different country. Much less population density. Police are often not nearby in rural areas, so you need to be able to defend yourself rather than rely on them.
There's a LOT OF myths floating around about America here. People actually unironically assert that in America it's a principle of law that you are guilty until you're found innocent.
Actually, that's not a bad thing, because I can use bias against America to turn people against wokeism. I just point out that it comes from America. The most effective argument.

Sadly in very liberal areas dealing with perceived right wing defendants like Rittenhouse or the McCloskeys, it does indeed seem to be the case. But if you're black in those same areas, you can just do whatever you want and even if you get arrested, they just let you right back out on the street.

I think that is great and all, but don't forget that plenty of Americans are fighting wokeness from the inside as well. MAGA was also a rejection of wokeism.
AoV: America is the devil
Imp: No, WOMEN are the devil
It's funny that you think I'm super anti-American, but when talking to other people in Europe, I'm normally the one who has to defend America.
Defend America how?
Euro: We should gas all ze American
AoV: No need to kill them, just put them in the salt mines so they can't make woke netlfix shows anymore
LOL!
No, I mean something like:

I should make one of those political compass memes.
