The one in Canada was slated to win by every metric, but endorsement by American right wing politicians (in the midst of a trade war they started) caused a wild backlash. He even lost his hometown riding, which... Yikes.
When this is all over, the world will need to throw a thank-you party for the US electing Trump and waking up the voters of the world, shaking them out of their complacency to clean up their own houses.
I think this is kind of the way accelerationists actually think.
Tbh I thought your trump getting elected alone might be such a shock to your political establishments that your liberals would actually swing to the left for once.
I don't know why I have any confidence in "my fellow countrymen." I went to a public high school for 4 years, I "met the masses" there, and 90% of them were idiots, 60% of them were mean spirited, racist, bigoted idiots. And now they vote.
Before 2024, I honestly thought "there's no way they'd ever put that clown back in." And here we are, orange face paint and all.
