What countries apart from the US are experiencing this shift?

it's red alert time.

  • Not to get into politics too much, but surely that is a bit different. EU right wing populism and conservative raise had been slowly happening for some 15-20 years. US for 14 months.

    • Trump was elected in 2016, the Snowden leaks are from 2013. These processes have been going on for a while, and those aren't the earliest indicators.

      and they say it's a coincidence.

    • The US has weakened structurally a lot over the past decades. Democracy ends slowly then suddenly I guess.

    • uh...fox news started from NIXON, so too were the far right judges. this republican farce hit a tipping point, it didnt just suddenly be fascist. its like bitcoin and they suddenly saw they had 51%. whether its true is debateable but this isnt just a few months.
