I just heard a funny claim on the radio as I was coming home. They said the reelection of Donald Trump and the rise in right wing populism represents a shift towards authoritarianism. It's not a shift it's a return. Right wing extremists are the same as Left wing extremists. Draw a line in the sand and call that line democracy or freedom. The further you get away from the line on the left or the right, the further you get away from democracy or freedom and the closer you get to Dictatorship or slavery.
I switched from FM news on my car radio to AM. FM the only news was CBC and they were ridiculous. It was OK to get a headline but the commentary and political brainwashing that went with it was ridiculous.
However, the FM news is the same. There's no difference. CKNW is now owned by Post Media News just like Global. CKNW and 1130 keep saying News you can trust. Why do they keep saying that? Because no one trusts the mainstream media any more for good reason. They keep pushing an extreme political narrative leading to the UN's New World Order.
The reelection of Donald Trump represented a rejection of that narrative. However, Trump 2.0 went way too far. Now his enemies love him and his supporters are saying WTF? He's gone from one extreme to the other which is the same thing.
An example of this is his attempt to rewrite the electoral boundaries in Texas which is causing a knee jerk reaction in California. Trump 2.0 has dropped significantly in the polls for good reason. Instead of addressing those concerns he's desperately trying to grab more power by rewriting the electoral boundaries in Texas to give him more seats in the mid terms.
He's doing this because he knows he has dropped in popularity and will lose seats in the mid terms. That's not very democratic. The purpose of the system in place is to hold elected officials accountable. He's trying to remove accountability and grab more power. That is not a good thing and there's no way to spin it.
Gavin Newsom is an idiot but Trump trying to rewrite the electoral boundaries in Texas to give him more seats is giving Gavin Newsom more credibility. Just like Donald Trump was the reason the polls flipped in Canada and Mark Carney was elected. Canadians didn't want the right wing authoritarianism they saw coming from Trump 2.0.
So here's the news flash. Authoritarianism is bad. Doesn't matter if it's on the left or the right all authoritarianism is bad. Using the tough on crime slogan to justify a police state is not a good thing. Like I said, it's the problem, reaction, solution paradigm. The left creates a manufactured emergency with lawlessness and mass migration so the right can over react to that problem and implement what the WEF wanted all along.
We have a couple of people in Canada calling for mass deportations. STFU. Secure the border don't hunt people down for feeding their family. If someone's illegal and they commit a serious crime, then deport them but these ICE prisons and gestapos are absolutely insane. Ya'll took the bait and fell for their plan. Give your head a shake and wake up. Right wing extremism is just as bad as left wing extremism.
Inner peace is found when we balance the extremes. I've already talked about where we were, where we're going and where we want to be because those are three different things. Perhaps it's time to revise those thoughts.
