Honestly, it’s not that they think the U.S. election will actually change things for them. It’s more that they've never had a real election themselves, and there’s a monopoly on building real communities back home. Since everything’s controlled, just picking a side in the U.S. election feels like a rare chance to be part of a community that actually matters. If ‘their side’ wins, it’s a small taste of what it’s like to be heard and feel connected.

Wondering what's with Ireland though!?
