    Unfortunately I think Trumpism is lowering the bar. Maybe right now it’s not fascism everywhere, but there’s no doubt that on a decades time the world will be more fascist than it would have been without Trump.

      I have confidence in the one step backward, two steps forward doctrine. If our current government is any indication, we’re heading in the exact opposite direction of the fash trend for the foreseeable future. There’s hope. Please don’t lose yours!

        Yeah.

        I’m in Australia, I suspect you might be also, but for reference a few months ago our centre-left party ground our centre-right party into the dust in a landslide election victory.

        I suppose I agree that its not all bad news.

        However, I’m gravely concerned about the US trajectory and I’m certain it will have an impact here sooner or later.

        Right now our PM is trying to negotiate the current tariffs. The US will want us to increase military spending, and reduce investment in science and research. We might resist, but it’s certainly pressure to move in the wrong direction.
