Yeah.
Anyone who told me he's a 'New York Liberal' should understand how many trans people are absolutely terrified right now.

To impose that kind of policy you need to burn a lot of political capital. After a while you will push many people to the opposite side. This is why no party or movement should force its ideology to extremes. Once this right wing wave come to an end, i bet the american people will much more left leaning than ever.
That was what we were on the streets for in my teenager years in Germany...
The Slogan for it was "Petting statt Pershing" - Petting instead of Pershing...
Such a joke. cnut.
Anyone that accuses the Dems of identity politics doesn't have a clue imo. You have no choice but to engage when a party threatens the existence of entire groups of people.
Was watching Fared Zakaria GPS yesterday. He had an author as a guest who was discussing how politics has become an identity and it's necessary to not see the other side as the enemy.
The Republicans really are the enemy. There's no other way to go about it. How do you compromise with them?
According to Bernstein, he's already preparing to blow the whole midterm election up.
I think he'll run for re-election but if he wins he will quit shortly into the second term. I don't believe he wants to stick around for a second term but his ego won't allow him to not win another election.
If he wins a second election it’ll be the last the US has
Hopefully, but the (extreme) right wing wave is present all over the west - not just in the US - which is scary as feck.
Kinda felt like it reached its peak two years ago and we were the only ones stupid enough to make it irreversible. America can vote a new President and government in and the likes of France, Netherlands, Austria rejected it.
It is not. As long as you accept to join Schengen, Euro, drive on the right like all decent people, use metric system and most importantly, equip every toilet room with a bidet.
Absolutely, but the spectre is still there imo. They still have more traction than they should.
Bloody hell! I thought he was dead
I hear Brezhnev and Khrushchev are also speaking out.
It's quite incredible how many countries have gotten into arms races since this guy took office.
Thierry Baudet and Geert Wilders are still quite big here. There's also Leefbaar and some other fringe morons, but lucky for us they're a bit fractured. I think Baudet is a smart enough cnut to be successful though. He has the right mix of xenophobia, eloquence and charisma to reach a lot of people. He's also very young and annoyingly handsome.
Though to be fair, he doesn't classify as extreme right I suppose.
Kushner currently doing a live interview with Van Jones.
Van is such a silly name. Why would you name someone after a type of vehicle.
That's not his actual name. Anthony Kapel Jones
Errrr, what? The radical right in Austria is currently in control of all armed forces (ministry of interior and defence), plus the foreign ministry. It's just that nobody cares because Austria is a shit country and not the supposed leader of the free world. But the situation here is at least as bad as in the US.
I thought the guy had lost the election. Guess it is worse than we thought.
That was for presidency, a mostly symbolic position (Austria is a parliamentary democracy)
Trump wants play with rockets with his buddy Kim.
US, UK, Italy, Austria, Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Denmark, Norway, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia have right-wing governments of various shades. Hard to classify China (IMO it's a capitalist economy with a totalitarian state and red flags), Iran (theocracy with some democracy?), and don't know much about other places.
I would roughly say that US, Italy, Hungary, Russia, Poland, Turkey, Israel, Saudi, India, Australia, Brazil and Colombia have hard-right govts, in terms of economics and/or muscular or religious nationalism.
Outside Australia and maybe the US, these parties are very secure in power.
edit - the only countries in the entire world with elected left govts are: Spain (minority), Portugal, NZ (in alliance with nationalists), Sweden (maybe, in alliance with the right), Mexico (incoming).

He answered most questions pretty well.
If you're including non-democratic countries like Saudi Arabia then this list can be expanded quite a bit. But it's the rise of the popular, 'democratic' right-wing nationalist parties which are far more interesting.
ya i hesitated before including them. it would be better to keep it restricted to popularly voted govts.
Yeah. Although even then there are grey cases like Russia, which is not democratic in any real sense but the leader appears to have mass support.
Turkey, Israel and India are the most interesting cases IMO, apart from the obvious US.
I forgot Italy which seems to be on the Hungary path wrt immigration and ethnic nationalism.

In the EU there are currently seven governments with populist radical right parties either governing alone, or in coalition: Austria, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Latvia, and Slovakia. In the European Parliament, roughly 25% of MEPs are PRRP.
It's you who is the " National Emergy". Twat.
Channel 4 did a documentary on this over 10 years ago called "God's New Army" it was scary as shit then, even worse now it's actually becoming reality.
Emergy! Good one Don!
fecking lying, shitstirring, fear mongering piece of shit.
Yay! Punish third world countries. That will help them! Woo! I despise this cnut. I really do.
Sigh, he just doesn't get it at all.
'America: F*CK YEAH!'
The randomly capitalized words...
Mexico’s Military Police Caravan Southern Border United States Middle Easterners Border Patrol Military National Emergency

Comin again to save the motherfeckin day, yeah!
*Defines air pollution simply in terms of fine particulates, celebrates it’s less than the deserts of the Sahara and Arabian peninsula.
*Laments asylum seekers from poor countries wrecked by a drug war we started ourselves.
I could go on, but, eh...
