I would love to hear how they plan to resolve what feels like an inevitable unrest that will one day erupt.

I’m obviously not an expert on the subject, but the rhetoric has been so much more extreme. I hope nothing bad happens, but I have no idea how to get people to understand that an authoritarian government is bad. Do people even understand what that means? Or how living in an authoritarian state would affect their lives?

It’s disturbing to see the rize of authoritarian nazi like behavior in North America. The worst part is a lot of these people had their grandfather’s and fathers fight in the world wars to stop this kind of thing.

It’s messed up that these kinds of people can even get into political office when they should be as far away from political power as possible.

Damn I don’t understand how this brainwashing works, but the right wing has it on point. I’m genuinely worried that our world is about to change for the worse.

Regardless of whether you’re in America or not, Trump existing has created a whirlwind of authoritarian worshiping bullies. Canada doesn’t seem far off. I know Europe is having their own troubles with it too. It’s like these people either didn’t learn about the world wars or did and thought “hey that sounds great”

Oh damn. Thank you! I’ll have to do this at some point…eventually lol

Man, it’s terrible when politicians shrug at this issue. More should be done to stop senseless violence

What in the bone spurs is this? I didn’t know about Trump mocking McCain for being a POW. That’s fucked up. Trump hasn’t done a thing for his country.

It doesn’t surprise me. I forget half the terrible shit he’s done. You basically need an entire book to keep track of his hourly crimes. Sheesh

That would be cool though

I was thinking about this the other day when I heard Chick-fil-a wants to start their own streaming service. I feel like…it’s starting to feel like every big business is squeezing us like lemons. Not only do they artifically increase prices for their goods, but now they want us to pay for subscription services too.

It’s starting to feel extremely invasive. Surely, you would think there is a tipping point. But I also said that about the inflation of groceries and the general cost of living. But we haven’t seem to hit that point either, lol.

First, it was people of color, then gay people, then trans people, now women.

As per usual, right wingers are projecting what they want / intend to do. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go after people with disabilities, and then eventually loop back around to only approving of blond hair and blue eyed individuals.

When Trump was in power, it made all the shitheads come out of the woodwork. So many corrupt politicians (and just people in general) felt like they now had a soapbox or could get away with whatever they wanted. We’re still dealing with it today.

If Trump gets in a second time, I’m genuinely worried for my provinces’ healthcare system as politicians are doing whatever they can to make it worse. They’re causing problems so that they can pose privatization as the solution.

Holy shit. These changes would be awesome. Not only would some of these changes help people in America, but I bet the ideas would spread elsewhere, too. Please oh please I want price gouging of groceries to stop.

Plus the rent stuff is huge too. People are struggling out here.

I’ve gotten a handful of raises over the past 4 years, and they have all been under inflation, so they might as well be demotions. LOL

Thank you for breaking me out of the loop

Laughs nervously in Canadian

It sucked when he was president. It emboldened all of the cockroaches in our society. Some of our politicians are trying to emulate him, and it’s working. Some people love dictators and bullies, I guess.

They’re currently causing more problems with our public health care as a way to then be able to present private health care as a solution. If they take away or ruin our health care, I don’t know where I would go or where I could go really. But I wouldn’t want to live under that kind of government that actively harms its population.

Oh shit that’s not good. I suppose it’s bound to happen, though. Money talks.

Could happen anywhere

Bernie is such a cool dude. I really want to see a timeline where he became president

I’m torn about this myself. The tolerance of the intolerant is not really doing anyone any favors. But a subset of the population in North America seems to want to be as intolerant as possible.

It feels like tensions are rising, but I have no idea how you can reduce that without having the rowdy group be less hostile towards everything that moves

Just trying to get the NRA back on their side prior to election

That would hopefully prevent a bad government, but I’m not sure how to actually resolve the ideological issue. People who hold those beliefs won’t stop believing them. At least not quickly.

I’m not sure how you would make them see reason and reduce extremist beliefs. Otherwise, we’re just constantly trying to deal with a sick population

Man, it’s been wild seeing fascism growing over the past decade. I mean, it was always around, but it’s really gotten worse. The trouble is I have no idea how you would even begin to resolve the issue.

Like you have people wanting to kill American liberals (which is hilarious because politically the American democrats are not even close to being leftist or the big boogieman, “communist”).

It really seems like you have a very large group of uneducated and violent people who think Trump will allow them to fulfill their fantasies of control over others. The pain in the ass is that their ideology is spreading globally.

I was shocked to find out that all his crimes apparently don’t disqualify him from running for/being president again. Like what?

You would think there would be like… some laws or something.
