    Didn’t elect their own Trump wannabe yet.

    Fascism is on the rise globally, so we must all be vigilant. There are enough warning signs that Canada could be just around the corner.

      Australia has a federal election this weekend. Fingers crossed that hopefully they can make the correct choice.

      This is what has me so depressed. This is a forever thing. They lost there for now, but they’re just going to get better at their manipulation as “they” have globally. Reich wing asshole billionaires have been solidifying control of all major media. It’s only a matter of time when fascism runs most major countries. :(

        This has happened before. The Nazis were not the only fascists back in the 1930s, it was a global movement. The movement passed. This one will too. It’s just a matter of trying to keep the high tide mark down until then.

          I’m just concerned the media landscape is so different now that we don’t have enough people living in the “same reality” to really ensure that. Hope you’re right though. Unfortunately no matter what I think we’re going to have to go through the worst of it before anything can change. :/

          Exactly.

          Authoritarians of all stripes love to lay claim to eternity.

          We don’t have to believe them though.

        Were it not for actual Trump, wannabe Trump was on track to win. It won’t take long for that to come back
