    We’ll continue to see authoritarian nationalist candidates manipulate people hurting from the global AI-induced inflation untill governments take appropriate steps to curb corporate greed. These wins and transitory though, because just like in the USA with Trump, the rabid right doesn’t actually have a plan to improve lives. The get elected by blaming, yelling, and fear mongering. Then they try to keep power through any method they can. If they succeed past a first term, you get Hungary, Turkey, etc.

        The guy who publicly mocked a cameraman for having a disability was a good choice to learn from? The guy who stated that a neo-nazi group had “good people” in it? The guy that used his office for political gain by demanding dirt on Biden (his political enemy) under threat of terminating an arms deal for Ukraine that was about to get attacked by Russia? The guy who had his mob attack the capital in an attempt to overthrow the government/democracy/election? The guy that needlessly started a trade war with China that drove the prices of everything up? The guy that botched the handling of COVID? The guy that basically quoted Hitler the other day by calling his political enemies vermin who must be destroyed? The guy who neutered the EPA and environmental regulation? The guy who instituted a policy that irreparably separated immigrant parents from their children?

        That guy? That guy was good to learn from?
