Last weeks poll in The Netherlands; progressives to have a majority if the current coalition were to topple government. Thanks to Trump that maga soundbite is now concidered to be not cool. #ThankYouDonald
Truth be told; at this point in game I don't care what Box the @vvdonline.bsky.social is in as long as they learned lesson that working with bbb and PVV is a pain in the p/a and p/r behind @dijkhoff.bsky.social @keesberghuis.bsky.social https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIaaV9H5680
For dutch labour/greens there is not much choise in current poll when you concider senate seats. If the govt were to topple this is going to be an issue but can't be much worse than govt we have now, wich biggest talent is to have no talent.
Well that depends on subject matter. Both CDA and VVD are conservative. When I am saying progressive in this context I ment po European voters when it comes to defence. In that case they are progressive; where as PVV is extreme right and lord only knows what BBB is, I doubt they know at this point
I do not agree with this statement. The rest of the sane world is just clearly realizing what they do not want. The people of Australia won this election.
Canada is super influenced by American media. Living in Alberta, we have politicians who follow the Trump playbook (and their bad deeds ramped up when Trump was campaigning extra hard). We elected ALL right wing conservatives (except 3 seats) in my province for our federal election.
Long may it continue. Fascism or even far RW Politics have no place in a civilised democracy, which is what we should all be aiming for. In fact we don’t need extremes of any political ideology. That don’t work.
Following the pandemic, the far right fed off of the general anger and frustration that many people felt. People were fed a steady diet of lies and conspiracies in order to garner support. Luckily this too, like the pandemic, has a time limit.
Yes, they see the horror America has become under Fascist rule. They see how unhappy Americans are with this loyalist, incompetent administration. They see our economy tanking, tourism falling, immigrants, even citizens, being deported to
a third world country. They see the protests in every state.
It’s an Anti Trump vote. Outside of America we can clearly see what’s happening. If Trump hadn’t won this election, there would have been different outcomes. The fascists may not have ultimately won however because of Trump they have resoundingly lost.
Too bad America didn't have the fundamental educational system, that produced enough adults to have the cognitive skills to learn from history & the obvious orange fascist...
He pulled out the Hitler playbook on his golden escalator announcement
Misleading statement. None of Canada's main 3 parties are 'fascist'. Libs & NDP left of center, Conservatives slightly right. AFD in Germany got a record # of seats this year, (152 vs 208 for CSU) but are frozen out of the governing coalition. Gvmt is classifying as 'extremist' to monitor them.
Fascism defined, "a political system headed by a dictator in which government controls business and labour and opposition is not permitted." We live in a democracy- that's how Trudeau won. And Carney. If you think this is fascism you should move to a country that really is to experience that horror

Welcome to the present & the future. Feel free to join us.
I think you're slightly mistaken about Germany. The previous majority party (CDU/CSU) is VERY conservative and more and more in cahoots with the far-right (now certified extremist) AfD party. In recent weeks, the AfD nazis have gained a lot of traction and are now the most popular party in Germany.
It is to be noted that the "most popular" qualification does NOT come from a Germany-wide held poll, but a trend quiz limited to a VERY small part of the German voting population (1003 people), potentially biased or regionally constrained.
It is NOT 100% representative of what everyone here thinks.
Other nations aren't ignoring it like we did! FBI warned about white nationalism in the 80's. 2006 FBI released a report about the infiltration of white Supremists into law enforcement. They have been warning year after year about the dangers & now they have infiltrated the higher echelons of the US
If sane Americans don’t make meaningful moves to harness this administration soon they will only have allies that speak Russian and Korean. Donald Trump is the unifying international force seen in generations.
Farage and Trump are in sync - he and a few other UK fascists (like Boris and Truss) attended the GOP national convention last year in the US to make sure Trump was elected.
The UK needs to be very careful.
The IDU is making in roads in the UK again. Like they did to get BREXIT passed.
Yup. In fact, seeing Farage rise in the UK (literally, I lived there for four years, it was scary as a White American even) and seeing his bullshit (even down to disrespecting allies, including my then president Obama) in a sense, prepared me for people like him (Trump) running in elections.
Our former PM and traitor, Harper, was there with him and Boris coordinating the BREXIT campaign. The IDU was very instrumental in the BREXIT victory. And now the UK is being duped again. I guess they did not learn the first time. BREXIT was a huge mistake for the UK. It has ruined their economy
Do some research on the IDU.
Boris, Farage, Truss - all members of the IDU - all in America at the same time during the GOP national convention last year to ensure Trump’s victory as the GOP candidate.
We just had to sacrifice our own democracy in the US to trigger a global antifascist movement. 😡
Hoping we still have the chance to go back in 2026 and 2028.
I guess you are right, Allie: all progressives and antifascists in Europe and beyond are now joining your fight against the orange idiot and his sycophants!
Indeed: I hope you still have the chance to turn the tide in the coming years.
As Canadian who is antifacists, I wish I was more hopeful for Canada... but ALOT of people have drank the kkkool-aid here too, and it's frightening to see.
How are the CDU Maga?? They uphold the constitution and aren’t quite as anti immigrant as the AfD! I’m not enamoured by Merz, but if the cdu were Maga they’d have ignored the Brandmauer and went into coalition with the AfD!
And it’s pissing Putin off. Social feeds are full of Russian bots trying to argue that Nazis were lefty hippies, not rightwing radicals. They’ve exploded all over FB.
At least we can celebrate that trump being this fucktastic this fast likely has helped prevent some similar fates as we are seeing. I hope we’ve learned by midterms.
It’s happening all over the world but the difference between them and the USA is when it comes time for the people to vote, they overwhelmingly renounce it.
Watching what has happened in the USA has been a wake up call to other countries with upcoming elections. If Fascism could take over the USA we can’t vote for it here
I hope you use it well. Australia needs to take leadership. Standing up to China, clean energy, stepping into the void created by the US retreat as much as it can.
At this point, we need to stand up to America almost as much as China, if not more.
Australia has long been a leader in the southern hemisphere and within our sphere of influence, but to date, that has largely been within the shadow of the United States.
As an Aussie with a Kiwi wife & Mother in Law, I am firmly of the opinion that our two nations are permanently entwined in an international partnership that I hope lasts the test of time.
Sorry but that graphic doesn't tell the relevant part of the story. Only certain councils in Engand held local elections this week, 1641 council seats last contested in 2021
Reform went from ZERO seats to 677 i.e. 41.2% of all seats available

All You Fascists

I'm gonna tell all you fascists, you may be surprised
People all over this world are getting organized
You're bound to lose
You fascists are bound to lose
Don't get cocky. None of these parties have solid plans to reduce wealth inequality. So the parties they defeated, or worse, will be right back in contention.
Wealth inequality needs to be reversed, not just stopped. Unfortunately seeing it's worse somewhere else doesn't stop the problem at home. We will see increasingly more extreme politicians get elected, with blame levied anywhere but at the feet of the wealthy.
But why would they trust MAGA like parties when it’s clear that they only exacerbate the issue. That was your argument that everyone is electing them to solve the issue when it’s clear they are only making it worse
I will grant that if Trump continues this way, it could generate the circumstances for AOC to have success. But Trump has a long runway ahead and he's destroying any legitimate chance of free and fair elections in 26, 28.
That - Hey fascists Fuck off!! energy is what we like! 👍🏽 #Germany #Canada #Australia. plus those countries ain't blind, they have eyes, & 👓 & they see these ignant nazi side effects cost
many, many #America n 's their job$ 💰. But Germany BEEN knowing this, Germany lost ton$ money bc of stup nazis!
The convicted felon has been the "best advertisement" for the left-centre liberal parties.
Countries around the world have got a "real-time" lesson of History - What happens, if a stark raving madman is elected at the helm.
Fear is a virus that human ego miscreates (stupid human tricks). Harness the ego, you have peace within yourself. I can even tell a person to fuck off in love. Detach from their ego. I bet you Jesus Christ used this same technique!
The one thing the world can thank Trump for. Everyone sees how god-awful disgusting and evil he and his cronies are and says “Hell no! Not today, Satan!”
Tough choice. The Reefer party and the Labrador Retriever party both have solid plans and attractive candidates (though both sets could use a fucking bath). I recommend not voting for the Convicts party; tried that in the US, it's not working out.
What the hell is wrong with people that they actually think this is a better way of government? It wouldn't be happening if they had absolutely no support from the people.
But don't feel like we're anywhere near done, stay vigilant. Fascist worms like the one in Canada finds a new "riding", the MP there "resigns" and lil' Maple MAGA Pierre stays around, despite losing the Federal election and his local riding as MP.
Only the Americans, Israelis, Hungarians, Indians, and Russians have embraced large-scale fascism. Obviously El Salvador, China, Turkmenistan, North Korea, and Venezuela are pretty terrible too.
En France, Bruno Retailleau, ministre de l’Interieur, a décidé de dissoudre une association antifasciste et une association œuvrant pour la Palestine. La France se fascise.
People are beginning to see what fascism means in the USA. Sadly not enough folk in sinking Blighty - the connection between Fartage and Agent Pizda needs far more spelling out.
This progress to the human race is brought to you by the color ORANGE.

Of course they are. Nobody benefits from fascism and people will always put self interest first. It just sometimes takes a while for slower people to realise …
So any right wing political parties are now fascists!!!! One I don’t think it’s accurate, and two it’s a very divisive way to carry out political debate to say that any one right of centre is fascist! If we overuse the term it becomes meaningless! Germany it rings true as the AfD are fascist!
I can identify with this. I openly tell Maga I'm Antifa every chance I get. My Dad's 3 older brothers fought in Europe. His oldest brother is buried in France. The other two returned, but with injuries. Because they were farmers, the readjustment was peaceful. Thank God.
Watching the 90+-year-old Canadian vets at Groesbeek for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of The Netherlands will reinforce why it is vital to confront authoritarians at every opportunity, long before we lose young people to war.
And the German equivalent of our MAGA has been legally, officially branded a far right extremist, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional insurgent that will now exist under surveillance and in the shroud of deceit and within the confines and capable enclosure of their law enforcement. MAGA = NAZI!
Keep watching them. We thought we had defeated the white supremacists when Obama won. It only made them more resolved to win the next electionat all costs.

....the US has Fox/NewsMax to thank for that
and the general laziness of the American voters to just accept the lies they hear from Fox/NewsMax
He did not win. Either time
The uncouth, hateful and abrasive MAGA culture is soundly rejected.
Kindness is NOT a weakness.
a third world country. They see the protests in every state.

Bob Hawke was the largest at 86 seats. 86 and counting for Albanese. C'mon #Australia!!
I think we can categorically say Australia says no to the right-wing loonies.
Australia has long been a leader in the southern hemisphere and within our sphere of influence, but to date, that has largely been within the shadow of the United States.
We need to step out of that shadow.

If AOC was prez - how many of her Dems would take her lead? 1/5? 1/4? Most actively undermine her.
US democracy is so compromised that nothing meaningful can happen. It has to hit rock bottom before reversal via mass movement.
