The following is mostly a reply I gave in someone else's thread. I wanted to share it without risking the other threadfolk getting backlash.

Concerning whether or not US-Americans know and/or care that yesterday could easily have been the start of WWIII/a global nuclear event:

A lot of us care and are aware. Enough that we were checking the news every few mins yesterday & dreading the approach of 8pm EST.

Please don't paint all US-Americans with the same brush of dismissive judgment....

@courtcan @blogdiva we get it. you care, just not enough to do anything about it. That's the problem. You just sat there waiting for the trump to end the world. All of you. Please drop the faux-virtue-signalling act, we don't believe you anymore.
