Same in Germany. Conservatives copy the right-wings' and extremists' topics and positions and feed the xenophobic narrative that turns the poor against the poorest. And then they are surprised when the fascists get more and more votes
Conservatives: destroys the economy
Also conservatives: "It's time we take back control of our own economy!"
continues to further destroy the economy
Rinse repeat
Leftist party is voted in
Conservatives: Look at how much the left has ruined the economy!!!
Did conservatives destroy the Dutch economy?
This argument would hold so much more weight with me if, when Obama had his supermajority, he'd have done something other than rewarding the rich assholes who crashed the economy.
But he didn't.
Obama was a liberal, not a leftist
It's fucking embarrassing is what it is. Really looking forward to having to apologise for my openly racist and islamophobic prime minister for the coming 4 years just because people in my country love to sabotage the country.
Americans: "First time?"
Another reminder that most people dont understand what political ideology is and just votes randomly.
If anything, this is a call against complacency everywhere. Foolishness ignores man-made borders.
Well shit, I was kind of counting on this country. If my country went far right, I was thinking of maybe fleeing there. But I guess it's gonna get a lot less trans friendly very soon.
Judging by the directions things are going and the rate at which it's all happening, I fear that soon there will be nowhere left to run...
