I’m still hoping that somehow this is all the plan.

Let the evil come out, but contained. So that it reveals itself and so people know what to clean up in the future, and to never give fascism a second chance.

In the Netherlands the far right had a majority for a while, and they saw that they weren’t able to achieve anything.. all they did was lie, and get votes for making people angry about problems they had no solution for.. after a while people got so fed up, they voted the opposite.

All the sh*t that’s happening now, should make it clear for people where the evil in the US is. Some people said; this is something the US has to go through, to change into a real democracy. Where wealth is evenly spread / distributed and controlled by all.

You also see so many kids from  new generation, that hate the direction this is going. I’m hoping new generations learn from this and want the opposite.

I hope so..

The difference is that Netherlands has parlamentarian proportional representation. It tends to keep extremism niche. The US doesn't have that, so niche extremism can rule the country even though it is only supported by a minority of voters.

The experiment is; how much can we control votes through propaganda and denial of education while taking away quality of life.
