        As bad as Trump is, he isn’t championing and encouraging extrajudicial killings (at least not yet) like Duterte. That is however something your average Filipino voters were drawn to and supported with thunderous applause.

          He IS praising Duterte for it, though. As you implied yourself, Trump getting back in the white house will guarantee extrajudicial killings. Probably as a matter of stated policy rather than just something cops aren’t discouraged from.

          That is however something your average Filipino voters were drawn to and supported with thunderous applause.

          The country fell for the rhetoric of a demagogue. The US, Russia, Hungary, India, Israel, Belarus, and Japan all elected a fascist demagogue as their leader within the last 10 years.

          I’m sure you consider some of those shithole countries but would you say that they all are, or do you admit that a country’s demagogue leader isn’t 1/1 indicative of the country as a whole?
