If they can’t answer a simple yes or no question then they should be disqualified.

I'm not a septic mate... but, if you want to stay local, keep an eye on Farage. Or the rise of the right across Europe. They are all modelling themselves on the shamlessness of MAGA.

Canada as well. I'm scared for our next election. Mainstream media here is all owned by billionaires and American hedge funds and the Conservative party has clearly stated they want to get rid of the only media that isn't, the government funded CBC.

If you own the media, you own the message. Goebbels would be proud.

Tories filled the BBC with their mates to do the same thing. They also have their own channels now which appear to have no audience other than social media types telling us what is being said. GBeebies (GB News) pays Farage a fortune but they make heavy losses. Their funding is questionable.

Trump certainly contributed to gaining support but he's no more or less confident in his rhetoric than he's been for 15 years

I know. But this kind of rhetoric and way of thinking wouldnt be supported by half of the population in any other developed country

As if humanity's calamities were limited to the United States. The rest of the world just keeps a better lid on it
