    As a Canadian looking from the outside in, it really does seem to be trending in that direction… any further Republican wins will mean the end of democracy, with America sliding into a ChristoFascist Autocracy.

    I fear for my American neighbours, but we have similar problems up here; we just happen to be a decade or so behind you folk.

        No. Did you know they wanted to send international observers for the last election because of worries that the US no longer adheres to democratic process? They were turned away, of course.

        You know, like in third world nations and dictatorships.

          In political science terms it’s what we call a “flawed democracy,” meaning that it has some but not all the features of an actual democracy.

      Also Canadian. We are certainly on the same path. It feels like everyone around our part of the country is a “fuck Trudeau” type that just clearly wants the 1950’s to return and women where they should be. As a very liberal but not so political person it’s kinda scary.
