    Oh I see. Your comments make much more sense now. I guess that’s like me talking about politics in another country…

      The rest of the world can’t afford for the USA to continue down this path into “Christian” nationalism.

      My country (Britain) is also pretty screwed. We seem to copy what happens in the US, but a few years later with more tea and a tiny bit less Jeebus. The fascist threat is in full swing here too and I’m less convinced we will avoid going more fully fascist in the near future.

      We can’t ever give up being vigilant about the rise of fascism - we must dismantle it at source, inside our own minds and in our communities, on every level.

      Britain is the OG fascist state - it’s been our chief global export for hundreds of years, since long before Mussolini said “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”.

      My life and wellbeing has always been going to be directly threatened by fascists. Everyone’s is! That’s why we must never give up and accept defeat without actually dying in the process.

        Other than our nuclear weapons, the rest of the world seems to be doing a pretty good job of shifting away from the United States. I think it’s going to be a lot like Brexit. I don’t even think of the UK anymore. Are they still around? The European Union certainly doesn’t give a shit… And definitely doesn’t need them.

        It’s just a shame Ireland can’t move their island and kick those trespassing cunts off the north side.
