Brexit on it's own won't end the world I'm not even talking about him as a politician or Brexit as an event. I'm talking about the impact of these things on the popular opinion. That it brings nastiness and hatred out of people's heads into public opinion. It happened after Brexit. Hate crime was up. Now we have politicians calling for 100,000 to march on independent judges for simply doing their job. How isn't that scary? We're lurching further to far right as time goes on, and the last time that happened in Europe, well. I used the word ridiculous earlier quite deliberately... I think you're over-reacting. Yes, lots of bad things are happening, but they've been happening for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've never seen such a major lurch to the right. Populist nationalism is dangerous and people are buying into it more and more as time goes on. We only have to look at history to see what happens when we lurch to the right so rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Time to go to bed and wake up to President-elect Trump tomorrow morning. Edit: Cashed out my bet on him in case Hillary turns it round. Edited November 9, 2016 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I'm tired and I was agreeing with you and extending the comparison back even further but then I read it back and maybe that's what you were referring to as well.

The current economic system is designed to screw the majority for the benefit of a small minority. If the elite will not respond voluntarily, then other things will occur.

Tell that to the president elect whose campaign was built on building a wall to keep out foreigners and banning a collective of over a billion people. These people aren't civil.
