    The UK seems to keep letting Boris do shit in government.

    AfD in Germany doubled their power in the last election.

    Duterte hit the scene in the Philippines before trump in the US.

    Italy just elected a far-right PM.

    The biggest mistake you can make regarding the conservative dipshit death cult in the US, is assuming that your fellow dumbass citizens aren’t vulnerable to the exact same rhetoric.

      Oh, the whole place is falling apart and US setting trends is a big part of that problem. Us in Canada should have done way better than we did last election, but even we managed to not do our usual flip-flop and barely scraped by not electing a massive piece of garbage who would have rolled over for Trump at every turn.

      Didn’t I also say “long before” in there? That Duterte comment lookin’ kinda like you either weren’t reading like you think Trump is where it started falling apart. Or you think 2010 is ancient and irrelevant history, maybe.

        Ah, so you know first-hand what I’m talking about. All this shit going on in the US, and your populace just barely didn’t shoehorn themselves into a far right shithole.

        The biggest mistake you can make, is thinking that it can only happen in the US.

          You can try to deflect all you want, the US is still a massive shithole that put itself in this mess and keeps exporting its pathetic extremism in myriad different ways. It’s a huge failure and trying to drag everyone down with it.

          And all this started with me telling the person who thought banning open-carry firearms was the problem to shut the hell up. Everywhere is full of stupid, the US brand is just extra special.
