TLDR: the trumpist tendancies of both conservatives candidates of Canada and Australia made them lose the election in favor of their leftist opponents.

    Back when the Leave Referendum in Britain was won by Leave, in the rest of Europe the number of people who wanted a Leave Referendum instantly dropped by half in just one month and the far-right who until then were vocally anti-EU, suddenly stopped doing it.

    As I see it, judging by what’s happened in Canada and Australia as well as by the very overt distancing of Trump by most of the far-right in Europe, Americans are taking it in the chin for the rest of us.

    Now if only they themselves would learn that supporting fascism abroad also breeds fascism at home (I just found out that AOC voted in favour of a new bullshit “anti-semitism” definition from the Israeli lobby, so guess not even the supposedly “left” wing of the Democrat Party have yet to learn the lesson).
