Donald Trump has said it would be “an honor” take Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize if she offered it to him, as he prepares to meet the exiled politician next week.

Machado has been in hiding due to persistent threats on her life, emerging only briefly in Oslo after a three-day mission in which she was smuggled out of the country with the help of the U.S. military for the Nobel ceremony.

    that’s really interesting and sad, I wonder how much of that is them actually not being able to understand vs them being convinced they can’t understand

    kinda feels like the worst type of a feedback loop where people just start rejecting external information

      Politics are getting more extreme. Screaming people, far against each other, no middle area, etc. Many just don’t have the energy to follow all that bullshit. Going back and forth. They just want something clear instead of difficult choices. It drains me too, but I can’t vote on something I do not support and I need to know which politicians are full of shit and spread fake news.
