So many centrists - and even leftists - in the US still seem to believe that all of this will be over after the next election.

@Kierkegaanks @thomholwerda no, no we do not. See also the petulant illegal tariff throwing thrown at them by Twitler any time they said something he didn't like. The only reason they would be stupid enough to cooperate is if they were staggeringly moronic and Nazis.
<looks at Japan's current prime minister>
Well that explains them.
@Kierkegaanks @thomholwerda (for those not familiar: Takaichi Sanae is an ultra-right extremist opposed to things like same sex marriage, allowing women to keep their surnames after marriage, and Japan's policy of non-aggression. She is for the claims that Japan did nothing wrong in WWII, wants to retract Murayama and Kono, and has done things like denying Japan ever committed war crimes while visiting Yasukuni.)

@thomholwerda Even if you think it might be done for, we all know that most politicians don't think so.
And I've been voting against this cancer since I turned 18, and I've even attended some (peaceful) protests near me against this regime.
Believe me, I want things to get better for everybody, except for the cancerous traitors. Then again, this had been going on since the 1980s...
Republicans and Democrats are not oppositional forces, so I doubt very much that you voted against the forces that conspired to bring the present moment into focus. 'Now' doesn't happen without Biden giving Palantir and Likud free run of the White House.
Democrats stood down as the Biden Administration laid the fascist architecture that has allowed Trump to do more damage in one year than he ever could have in a consecutive 8. That's no accident.

@thomholwerda I might answer with a question: Where is ”left” on the US political map as compared to that of ours?
@ghard @thomholwerda I live here, and I can't seem to find this so-called "left" anywhere. Mamdani, maybe? Isn't he talking rent control and "commie" grocery stores?

So many centrists - and even leftists - in the US still seem to believe that all of this will be over after the next election. Setting aside the risk of there not being a next election, even if you people vote in, I don't know, fucking AOC, the damage has been done. The relationship between the US and Europe is done for.
You either cut out the conservative cancer and cauterise the wound, or we will never take the US seriously ever again.

@rootwyrm @Kierkegaanks @thomholwerda theoretically, the LDP is a center right party, but looking into their origins might produce some "interesting" results. Like Shinzo Abe's grandfather being responsible for certain things in Manchuria...

@thomholwerda You might have seen this very solid piece, but just in case you haven't -

@thomholwerda I'd be worried about your own country, My Guy. What the corporate elite have done to the US is a trial run for the rest of the world. Huge money shoved Trump into the White House and shielded him from accountability at every turn. There are the same dangerous right wing movements in most countries, just waiting for their moment. They are well funded and relentless.
