Clear And Orange Danger
The mental leaps I need to take on a daily basis to try and fathom out wtf Trump and Brexiteers are doing to endanger our existence is exhausting.... We are in the gravest danger we have been in since WW2 and that is some scary shit after such a long period of relative stability in the West.
We're being led by the boys whose dogs ate their homework

They are so flipping predictable...
Let's stop eating our own
I saw this comment in the comment section of Joemygod and it struck a cord - it is not too excuse the Governors behaviour in the 80's which were really offensive and wankerish - but what does his record say now on the things that matter - is he an ally or not? Surely, that should be the question we need to ask?
EDIT - ADDED LINK ABOUT THIS SUBJECT
On the same site I saw the above comment a new link has been posted :

How People's Vote campaigners believe a referendum on Brexit could still be won
MPs and activists who support the People's Vote campaign for a new referendum were deflated this week after MPs rejected amendments designed to delay Brexit and allow discussions of alternatives to Theresa May's deal.
Some MPs were also disappointed that the campaign didn't push for an amendment to be tabled in its name.

I hate to say it but I think they are being overly optimistic on this
The rise of the right-wing globalists
A dark parallel with these events emerged on social media last week, when a photo of Watson in Berlin was paired with a picture taken at the 2019 World Economic Forum in Davos, showing recently elected Brazilian strongman Jair Bolsonaro seated between Apple CEO Tim Cook and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Another shot showed Bolsonaro posing with Tony Blair.

Really interesting read - worth clicking on the link. It is very concerning,,,, parallels with history are evident
A brief note to the Cult of Trump
If you do not believe in live and let live you do not believe in freedom.
If you don’t believe in allowing to people to worship in the time and place and to the God of their choice you don’t want to live in a democracy.
If you don’t believe that everyone should have equal access to the same chances you do, you many as well pop off and live in a dictatorship, where the ruling elite control the masses. Unequal access all the way seems marvellous to some.
If you think that a woman’s place is in the home, breeding and obeying and not in the classroom or the board room, an absolute theocracy might be the way to go. You would feel more comfortable there.
If you think the torture of other to ‘protect’ you and yours is justified, congratulations, you would fit right into certain states in 1930’s Europe.
If you think your race is superior to any other you might want to head off to an Island in the far far away somewhere and start your own all white is all right state. You can have fun being an autocrat in a place few would choose to affiliate themselves with.
You cannot be a person of faith and at the same time applaud the denial of universal human rights to those who do not think or act just like you. A free and just society does not play like that.
You cannot be exceptional when you act contrary to universal human rights. If you choose not to accept that people should have freedom of religion, that the colour of one’s skin does not determine one’s abilities and that women should have access to equality of opportunity what you are really saying is that theocracy, dictatorship, totalitarianism and oppression are the things that really float your boat.
If you prefer to believe in lies and corruption, rather than facts and logic, because it suits your narrative, then you need a demagogue not a leader.
