      Canada is only ever a couple steps behind America. Our own right wing party took notes from 2016 US elections and are currently implementing them pretty successfully.

      Empty platform, just snarky mud slinging and vacuous pandering. And it’s working.

      Oh you mean the countries that can’t defend themselves? Woefully unprepared for large scale war?

      Also, you’re blind as fuck if you think Canada isn’t gong through it, same with Britain and others in the eu

      This rise of fascism isn’t localized just to the us

        The likes of Canada, Australia, and (to varying degrees) Europe are slowly trudging their way toward fascism, but the US is attempting a speedrun at the moment. That’s a far greater threat than large scale war.

        I don’t think it’s likely, but it’s a very real possibility that this will be the last meaningful election to be held in the US for the foreseeable future. The same can’t really be said for the others.
