Politics, Nationalism & Elections

[Independent thinker]

Want to take a bigger-picture look at what's happening in America? Some news from Europe might help us understand Trump's victory better.

We're seeing a right wing nationalist movement spread around the world right now (with even Musk endorsing Germany's hard Right party), and yesterday's horrific murders in Germany by a Saudi national only add fuel to the fire. So what's happening here with immigration is not isolated, that's for damn sure.

Seems to me we've reached some kind of global breaking point, where citizens in many countries say their countries (perhaps more accurately, the souls of their countries) are being diluted by immigrants (in Europe's case, Middle Eastern/Islamic), and that it has gone too far. This view is being reflected in their politics.

Whether you agree with this or not, whether you like it or not, and dismiss it if you like, but the pushback is here. And now that a heavy-handed approach has been sanctioned by American voters, don't be surprised if the pushback to muticulturalism is global and aggressive in nature. Countries are now validating each other.

The far left have given rise to the far right.

The far left have given rise to the far right.

I think that's true to a point.

A big point. It is the left around the world who have been coming up with the totally woke nonsense and the far right has been becoming more relevant to counter the far left's woke nonsense.
