Canada's not doing much better mate but we're hanging in there. Til our next election I guess.

Yeah I know, Germany is swinging far stupid-right, too. It's shit everywhere, but it's still better than in the US.

The world follows the US's lead. When the US took a hard right turn after 9/11, europe slowly started following. I can't believe it has taken the US this long to rebound, (granted gerrymandering for the last 13 years has drastically slowed it). As the US rebounds, europe will too, slowly.

Are we rebounding? It feels like the downwards slide is continuing.

Sitting at the bottom I hope, waiting for shift to happen.
