Rest of the world: "So what, that's just another normal day in America. The word and country 'America' is most associated with guns, guns and more guns.
Ask most non-Americans what word they associate with US and the answer is always guns

Thus far, little is known about Friday’s law enforcement action against a top Trump critic. But we’re seeing an escalation of authoritarian power on many fronts that has grown unmistakable.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question.
“Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”
