Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump’s boots to actually say or do anything.

    I hope it actually does get better but looking at authotarian rulers Trump is following in the footsteps of it might never get better. Look at Putin, Ergodan, Netinyahu, Oban etc. Trump is using their playbook.

      On the other hand, he’s an absolute fucking moron.

      Trump is the fascism vaccine: He is the weakened form, so the system can learn about it, recognize it, and respond with no fuckin’ around when it happens for real.

      I’m not saying he is not dangerous. The camps are going up right now, and people packing into them every day. I’m just saying compared to what he could have been, we might have some kind of chance. Or I hope so at least.
