"I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America’s better angels.

I want honesty. I want an admission of exactly who we are as a country, and let’s be damn clear about that definition:"

~ Rex Huppke

I'm Russian living in Russia. I was 5 when Putin was 'elected'. I'm 30 now. I know that feeling of hopelessness very well. You should never surrender. Autocrats of the world are counting on you being down and depoliticized because all of this. Don't give them an easy win. Always fight, no matter how bad situation seems.

Normally I don't watch TV however, I was helping an elderly neighbour by adjusting their digital clocks and he had his tv turned on.
Trump commercials were playing and it blew me away the absolute BS his campaign was producing.
I turned to the gentleman and said,
"I hope you don't believe this propaganda!"

He looked at me and replied:
"I wish Trump was dying in prison and that's too good for him"

I walked away thinking if this 90+ year old man can figure it out, then there is hope for the US .

Go out and vote and bring your senior neighbours.

We'll see if that's followed up with action. I have strong doubts.

Ukraine gave up massive weapons arsenals in exchange for "security guarantees".

Ukraine was the only party to abide by this agreement and now there's close to 1,000,000 dead because of US weakness.

#Ukraine must now have NATO membership or nukes.

👀 "The Dangerous Americanization of Alberta Democracy

Danielle Smith is looking south for inspiration, ideas and laws.

Legislation such as the Alberta Sovereignty Act and the Provincial Priorities Act have garnered strong opposition, with critics highlighting threats to the constitutional division of powers and rule of law, academic freedom and Indigenous sovereignty.

Proposed changes to the #Alberta
Human Rights Act and anti-trans legislation have sparked additional concerns.

Many of these measures were left out of the UCP’s 2023 election platform, raising questions as to their origins. While much has been made about her borrowing pages from the Quebec playbook, Smith’s idealization of #Republican policy in the United States may provide additional clues as to the source of the #UCP’s policies.

In a 2023 speech,👉 Smith praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and projected Alberta as a “little bastion of freedom” in the same vein.

Policy diffusion occurs when ideas, practices or innovations spread from one government or jurisdiction to another. In January, for instance, Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed the Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act, a bill that is almost identical to the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act (2022).
...represents a broader transformation toward a brand of right-wing populism that undermines liberal democratic norms by reducing local autonomy, curtailing academic freedom and concentrating authority in the political executive.

If similar moves at the federal level may be labelled the presidentialization of the prime ministership, Smith’s actions can be considered an attempt to turn her own office into that of a U.S. governor. "

If the American public were better informed and fact-based, mis- and disinformation would not enjoy the level of success it does. Still, some people are educated yet disregard facts in service of cognitive dissonance and “team strong”, which is really team weak.
