this is the same shit newsletters would analyse before the nazi regime: "hitler stopped? the rising fascist tide obscured by hindenburg's victory" - the time 1933

or when trump was about to become president and newsletters said he doesn't have a chance. how did that turn out?

how often do newspapers want to make this mistake again? is that some kind of mental illness? democracy isn't something you put on a shelf to collect dust. it needs to be defended, maintained, polished, improved and never taken for granted. because if you don't do that you won't get the luxus to choose non violence. and if someone threatens it, you see them as the enemy and never as to unsignificant to become a threat. learn from mistakes. history echoes and you need to be better, faster, wiser everytime the echoe returns.

and stop balancing that shit. you aren't neutral and never will get neutral accept that. you side is with democracy. you posted that as your opinion on a public plattform. this isn't possible in an authoritarian state. newsletters can give "neutral" reports only in democracy. everything else is propaganda.
