I remember thinking they wouldn't vote for trump the first time and when they did, nothing since has surprised me. Well, maybe the speed with how Trump has taken on his second term was a bit of a surprise, but other than that, I fully expected America to turn their backs on Europe when (not if) they elected trump again.

My boyfriend told me that they would never elect trump again because of what he did with the abortion stuff and I just shrugged and said that they don't give a fuck about women's productive rights over there. They already have decades of religious indoctrination and an anti solidarity/anti social way of treating citizens and the citizens vote for that systematically.

I don't know the intricacies of American politics at all. I just call a spade a spade when I see it.

As for the UK... well, they are their own mess. The rest of Europe has started to skew far right too and I hate every fucking second of it. I hate extreme politics. I feel like there has been no normal, level-headed discussions for the past ten years. I am just buckling down for a shitty ride the next decade or so.

It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis

The novel describes the rise of Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, a demagogue who is elected President of the United States, after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and "traditional" values.

The British are just as fucking stupid as the Americans - can confirm am British
