    The rigth winger en Canada, and in general has showed support to all the right wing parties candidates in Europe. And how could we forget that he visited the Pope, and he died next day!

    The one in Canada was slated to win by every metric, but endorsement by American right wing politicians (in the midst of a trade war they started) caused a wild backlash. He even lost his hometown riding, which... Yikes.

    When this is all over, the world will need to throw a thank-you party for the US electing Trump and waking up the voters of the world, shaking them out of their complacency to clean up their own houses.

    I think this is kind of the way accelerationists actually think.

    Tbh I thought your trump getting elected alone might be such a shock to your political establishments that your liberals would actually swing to the left for once.

    I don't know why I have any confidence in "my fellow countrymen." I went to a public high school for 4 years, I "met the masses" there, and 90% of them were idiots, 60% of them were mean spirited, racist, bigoted idiots. And now they vote.

    Before 2024, I honestly thought "there's no way they'd ever put that clown back in." And here we are, orange face paint and all.

    Was the pope a right winger too?

    To be fair, if a left winger got endorsed by Vance, that would pretty much also kill their political career.

    Vance's status as poison is a universal thing for the entire political spectrum.
