    Yeah! What’s so delightful about things is how the U.S. tends to kind of set the climate for the politics in the west. The nazi party here in Sweden wasn’t doing bad per se, but after Trump’s victory they skyrocketed! They became the second biggest party last election, beating out the milquetoast bourgeoisie for the first time ever.

    Believe Italy has the same issue currently. Lovely stuff.

    Mind you I’m not blaming the U.S., it’s just that big headlines over there tends to colour ours too.

      Not just western countries, either. You even see countries like China and Russia devolving too, collecting power, raising to the poverty index to make it look like russians aren’t starving, making term limits virtually indefinite, jailing opponents.

      Only thing is that they’ve got a head start on making bad decisions, China since 2012, Russia since the 00s.
