Thank fuck I'm not American. Now, if you'd excuse me, I must get ready for the potential imminent arrival of fascism in about 2 days in my country (France). Can't wait to see the US fall as well! Wow! What a wonderful fucking world awaits us, huh? 💀

Shall we both bring out the guillotines? Or should start at setting things on fire? As an American, I'm not sure how your French protesting works, but I'm willing to learn.

As someone living in the UK, I'd also like to learn from the French

First you wait for an event that pulls a lot of media to your country like the Olympics, then you start fucking shit up

We still kind of owe you for everything you guys did in the revolutionary war.

Tell you what: when the time comes to fight the fascists again we'll send your resistance movement munitions if you send us dope "uniforms" for ours.

Everybody said the same thing when the Swedish Democrats got into power in Sweden or when Meloni got into power in Italy or the Finns party in Finland... and every time nothing happened. In the Western world and it's close allies, there have only been 3 examples of a right wing movement going rogue: Trump in the US, Orban in Hungary, and Netanyahu in Israel. If you consider Turkey a part of the West then Erdogan definitely fits into this category. Even then, it's a stretch can any of these 4 fascist when considering the actual definition of the word. I highly doubt Le Pen is going to do anything. She'll most likely be Meloni 2.0.

We are in the 4th turning. History repeats. The end of the 4th turning is a crisis. Call it mysticism but things are looking like a repeat of the 4 turnings in the past. Usually ends with war, disease, and famine before revolution.
