Hmmm I mean there is a bit of a rise in right-wing populist movements across Europe but not sure it's quite trumpian yet. No masked Gestapo bundling people into vans and ~~concentration~~ camps, mainly hotels... AFAIK
If a second liberal democracy were to fall to political interference and fascism, would it surprise so very much if it was the UK next in line? I think Brexit, the lead up, and the fall out demonstrate that it is on shaky ground. In the twisted name of sovereignty I think they would sacrifice democracy with the right incentives and manipulation.
We do so love to play second fiddle to the US.
Silver linings I guess.
What a privileged removed.
If I had money, this country would've seen my tail lights a decade ago.
Thanks.... Trump....
God, I don't know how to feel about this.
The trains are better, for sure. Everything? Idk about that
I wish our good news was better but the little victories count too.
