In addition to the foreigners, there are many bots also spouting anitAmerican Left-wing crap. It's meant to discourage us. People need to keep that in mind, shake it off, and keep shitposting for the future of America.
Just hijacking one of the top comments to say, remember that an online argument isn't for the person you're arguing with. It's for the person on the fence that's reading it.
Yep, there are lots of clues it is a foreigner. My mom was a Brit. I can spot pretty easily by the way they write/speak and odd stuff people might not notice, or think it was a spelling error (not that I go on Reddit to look anymore for any reason) Lots of words they add extra “U“ like “behaviour“, and ALSO in a TON of words, look for using an “S“ instead of a “Z“, like “realise“ (Brit) vs. “realize“ (US). All those words are not simply spelled wrong, that is how they spell it there. Or not so common, but it is noticeable, but some words have “mme“, like “programme“.
Also, they could be from any foreign country besides UK - like France, Germany, Iran, anywhere where English was not their first language) in the first place, and just learned to speak & write English the way they do in the UK, vs. US. I think it is totally expected in fact, when taught English, for most foreign countries to teach foreigners to spell the British way, not like we do in US.
I see so many users in the politics section saying “mate” or “behaviour” etc.
I really dont think their are many US based users on there.

I could use some fellow pedes over at r/ trumptweets. it's an uphill battle but easier to make headway than redacted
And dispensing the red pills!

I've always spelt behaviour with a u. Didn't know it was "wrong" till few years ago.
If I can remember, I'm going to add u, mme and swap s or z anywhere I can. Paraphrasing another poster:
"There are plenty of foreiugn Trump supporters too. The differense is we aren't trying to push for communizmme.
The majority being overzeas iz zomewhat zuzpect thogh. "
Yes. That looks quite right.
is behaviour not a word in america?
There is, we just spell it correctly. No "u".
armour
Behavior. That's how its spelled, mate!
Right, I always forget you guys take the u out of some words
When I first heard a couple of jolly ol' chaps call each other mate, I thought they were gay. No lie. I was a tween.
It is not a word in american-english, no.
"Uni," "lorry," "lift," using pounds/EU currency instead of dollars, etc etc
Exactly
