How are you feeling these days?
We sure do live in interesting times
Democratic backsliding?
Prime examples being the stuff around Brexit or Roe v Wade
Or Poland’s PiS party and their anti-democratic partisan judge nominations and the currently ongoing attempted elimination of the largest opposition party through McCarthyism.
Needless to mention ex-democracies such as Turkey, Hungary, etc.
The wave of populists across the democratic world has lead to more corruption and complacency at the top and more distrust and disconnection with the average voter.
Honestly, I’m starting to think the Nazis may have won, and they just shifted their strategies to playing the longcon.
