This has nothing to do with politics!
This has to do with a World wide pandemic.
The fact that the USA voted an absolute gobshite idiot to represent them as president has absolutely nothing to do with politics, I live in Ireland. I never voted for any US President, for me this is not a political matter, but a matter of world wide disaster control.

Then why are you getting all aeriated about it?
Just treat it as higher-quality entertainment than is produced in hollywood.
There's not a damned thing you can do about foreign politics, so grab a Murphy's and a bag of popcorn, chill out, and watch the show. Your sphygmomanometer will thank you for making its job easier.
You can do something about covid-19, though: wear a mask when you leave the house. That was a major factor in keeping the numbers down in East Asia, so if you don't meet that responsibility, you're in no position to complain about what others do or don't do.

You are getting close to the limit of "trolling"
Chill out and stop talking about politics, even more if you are insulting.
No matter if I agree with you or not, this kind of discussion is off limits in the lounge.

Might be an idea to look him up, before committing yourself any further to that line of questioning.
The [Stokes?] Monkey Trial would be a good place to start.

Would it be considered politics, hence inappropriate for the Lounge, if I quote from the table that in my country, Norway, right now has suffered 182 corona deaths, 34 deaths/1M pop (rank 32 if you sort it on that column), and have made 145,279 tests, 26,798 tests/1M pop (rank 16 if you sort it on that column)?
Or would that simply be quoting (presumed) medical facts?

That would depend on the purpose of posting that.

There's nothing political about it; it's just data -- about a disease that does not have a political agenda.
If people decide to use data about people dying unpleasant deaths to frame political or religious messages or propaganda, they're terrible people, but the data is just data, and denying people the right to discuss such horrible events with their peers strikes me as being somewhat inhumane.

Are you sure about that? The timing is awfully suspicious in favor of Trump getting re-elected.

How about adjusting the home country in your profile to match 'your country' ?

I have answered to that multiple times: CP is capable of handling an unspecified nick, it makes no assumptions. It shouldn't be more difficult to handle an unspecified country. I have neither specified a nick nor a country - CP itself decided to locate me in one specific country.
My reason for not using a name/nick is because I want the reader to focus on what I am saying, not on who is saying it. Not on which country the writer comes from, but what he is saying. If my country has any significance to what I am saying, I mention it.
I am sure that if CP had a country value of "unspecified", you wouldn't be bothered by me stating my country whenever relevant. What causes problems is that CP assumes USA as the country until explicitly changed. The problem is with CP, not with me.

You sort of get it.
Just - since you've done this before - you clearly identify as Norwegian - and have no problem using it when it suit you. As it is, however, when it doesn't suit you, your identified as USA. Since your ID is just a number, it's not automatically recognized as "you".
so, unless you're embarrassed about it, update your profile. The same can be said for a nick-name.
The lack of either, and the unwillingness to do anything about it when it being "spun" by you into an asset of "don't look at me - look at what I post" excuse just doesn't cut it. I doubt, seriously, if even you ever believed that.
Unless - of course - you are ashamed of being Norwegian.
