Maybe I should have gone to Canada, Wester Europe or Australia.

I don't like where this "democracy" is heading.

The US has always been a contentious political experiment.

What makes this time different is the seemingly unlimited power being offered to a singly person.

Heads up...

"Canada’s Liberals suffer major upset in Toronto special election, raising doubts about Trudeau"

"'This is a very ominous sign for the Liberals,' said Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. 'The Conservatives have scored major political points by blaming him for the cost-of-living crisis.'"

At least they don't have as many guns as we do here.

Finland , Finland , Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping or just watching TV
Finland , Finland , Finland
It's the country for me

You're so near to Russia
So far away from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam

Finland , Finland , Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall
Finland , Finland , Finland
Finland has it all

You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A poor second to Belgium
When going abroad

Finland , Finland , Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland , Finland , Finland
Finland has it all

This is worldwide bro. Everybody is falling over themselves to help Trump and Putin. If Putin takes Ukraine and Trump becomes President, what's to stop him from taking Eastern Europe. What's to stop him from taking Western Europe?

Trump could have screwed a dog on stage and Republicans would still line up like soldiers to carry him forward. Democrats start splintering the second one of them drops a handkerchief. All by design. Cry babying about this or that thing.

It's time to form a strong skirmish line and meet the opposition. Stop being little you know whats. Anybody not in line gets called out, put down and shoved out of the way.

We're gonna win. The world depends on it. We can't just let them take America.

Do NOT look at Canadian politics right now. All your dreams will be shattered.

I think it’s funny (and sad) that a largely-receded worldwide post-pandemic transient inflation is being separately blamed on individual current leaders…

…but only by opportunistic right-wing movements.

And their followers lap it up.

Not the brightest bulbs.

Yeah, US right wing politics has been spilling over the border for years. It has emboldened similar elements of Canadian society that had been somewhat suppressed.

It never entirely disappeared but it was much quieter than U.S. politics but that's true for most of Canadian discourse.

If *PAB45CFDJT does get elected as *PAB47CFDJT, then Canada had best be prepared for annexation...

The same puppet strings are being pulled in every part of the globe. You need better sources for your political "news."

Trump, Farage, Narendra Modi, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Viktor Orban, Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni, Mahendra Rajapaksa, Min Aung Hlaing, and Alice Weidel aren’t populists; they are majoritarian nationalists. Every one of them has the same goal: to take the nominal majorities in their countries (defined by race or religion) and turn them into self-aware, supremacist majorities, determined to remake their nations in their own image and to reduce religious and ethnic minorities to the ranks of second-class citizens or worse.

The historical font of majoritarian nationalism is not populism, but Hitler’s National Socialist party. The Holocaust disqualified majoritarianism from the political mainstream in postwar Europe. The Cold War, in turn, froze the nationalist imagination on both sides of the Iron Curtain. But @#$%&’s master concept of a majoritarian nation-state built on the scapegoating of “inferior” minorities remained an inspiration to supremacists elsewhere. M. S. Golwalkar, the chief ideologue of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the parent organization of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), held up Hitler’s treatment of minorities as an example for Indians to follow.
