    Lots of countries are stupid, but not that many have >50% of their population be that incredibly stupid. Usually it’s closer to 20-30%. America takes the gold though.

          It’s been swinging right since about 2012, worldwide. This is a symptom of that disease. The world has been falling more and more to right wing authoritarian fear mongering and xenophobia. Across Europe, the South Pacific, South America, Africa. Literally every continent has been swinging to the right and flirting with that doomsday trend of falling to fascist takeovers every, like, 80 years or so. And it’s back. Like some fucking cancer you just can’t beat.

          It’s going to swing right all across the world. This win solidifies the U.S. as a fascist nation. All the money and resources that have gone into achieving that won’t disappear, if anything there’ll be more money available now.

          This is the opening bell on a very dark age.

      Look at Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, UK and Germany’s AFD. Hate is potent political fuel that’s burning hotter and hotter.

      The Philippines elected the son of the most brutal dictator in their history. So im really not sure about that.
