    We only just narrowly escaped having a conservative government this election.

    What’s really concerning is that the conservatives got a pretty big boost in the number of seats compared to the last election so there’s a significant amount of people that don’t mind having MapleMAGA running the country.

    Relying on elections to oust fascists isn’t exactly a great plan.

      If you cant even convince enough people to fill out a ballot, you wouldn’t be able to convince enough people risk their lives in a revolt.

        Yeah, the US is just kind of a writeoff at this point. Or at least the US Bernie Sanders is talking about.

      I think they’ll have the next election (the 2026 mid-term) but I’m less sure about the election after that…

        Most likely the election for midterms will be rigged or rejected if it doesn’t go their way. Or it will be otherwise delayed. It doesn’t really matter, if they start to lose power faster they actually become more dangerous.

      It’s going to be another spectacle of wealthy celebrities getting paid to entice simple minds.

      I hope they use Beyonce and Snoop Dogg again!

      That’s almost entirely dependent on what happens in the world. Trump mostly shutting up for a just month was enough for the polls to tighten.

    Next time they’ll vote for the Hitler adjacent part instead of the Nazi party!
