Is anyone here from a country NOT called USA where they pile up a bunch of people in the background of a politician who then gets applause for everything?
I have literally never seen this in Europe. In Germany, we’d probably consider this “weird” in case our politicians did that. Feels a bit like clicking the thumbs-up button of my own social media post…
We had this with a couple of our recent PMs (and other cosplayers) who were desperate to turn the UK into the 51st State. Boris Johnson was repeatedly reprimanded for doing this using actual public servants - standing in front of a crown of police officers or nurses and delivering a political manifesto instead of the agreed government announcement.
