Currently there is a prime example of where Trump has taken global politics, to the very very bottom of the barrel!
At the moment there in the lead-up to a general election in India, voters are being bombarded with fake news, AI generated garbage, and all sorts of social media sh1zen. When the conventional mainstream media in India made an issue of it, exposing the fakery, the politicians refused to oppose it effectively ticking it off as a legitimate campaign tactic.
Trump willingness to allow foreign interference in the US elections, his open and active spread of disinformation, his blatant lies, is now setting the entire planet onto a course that can't possible end well.
What Trump does is a modern day equivalent of Mao's War on Sparrows!

Yep, the evolution of empires through history, is that they get to a point where the progression ends, critical mass occurs, and then society hits the skids, class division widens until the revolution comes again, or something more drastic like wars and then a reformation begins if a conquering doesnt occur. We are reaching that tipping point again, where the masses are getting sick of told by people who have no concept of what being a battler is, to suck it up and tighten your belts. "let them eat cake" said Marie Antoinette. Thats grand, but it doesnt help when you cannot feed your family, pay your electric bills, find a job, or afford to do anything but exist.
We arent quite there yet here in the land of Aus, because we still have the capability of migration fuelling growth, but once that becomes unsustainable, look out.
Its ok, they will server their term, and ride the gravy train into retirement with a fully staffed office of 50 people, and a 400k a year pension whilst we wont even get to retire, and if we do, our means tested situation will ensure either we live off our own steam, or we get a pension that can barely afford to keep the power on where we will rug up rather than heat the house during winter. Sounds fair.

I was trying to discuss Trump's influence on dud politicians in other countries, the low end bottom feeders are adopting his tactics pretty much everywhere you look! Trump's behaviour like a universal user manual for how to sh1t in the pool and peg the blame on someone else!

Perhaps he has emboldened a few, but he isn't the first in recent times by any means. Berlusconi and Orbán immediately spring to mind as forerunners. I've said a few times that the left is basically dead, and the world is shifting to the right, with barely any exceptions, and barely any resistance.

I would be very reluctant to attribute any trend setting to a bloke who has never had an original thought in his life. I think that his success in being elected to the Presidency and getting the presumptive Republican nomination for the next election may have emboldened populist and totalitarian leaders. They have more ruthless and successful (if I can use that word) authoritarian figures to follow, as has the likely Republican nomination himself.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Lods - 05-28-2024
Interesting...
We're now getting regular incidents of Trump making gaffes or saying the wrong thing or things out of context...not in the calculated way he has done in the past, but more in line with an elderly man with diminishing faculties.
If these debates go ahead it will be interesting to see how he goes in a structured session where he is not in control.
It was kind of thought he would have little trouble outshining Biden. Rightly or wrongly that was the expectation.
So really all Biden needs to do is match Trump or go close...and he'll get a boost.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - DJC - 05-29-2024
I watched some footage of the presumptive GOP nominee at the Libertarian Party convention. He had arranged for MAGA supporters to enter the venue early to give an impression of support but they were overwhelmed by the Libertarians’ boos.
The former President was booed when he told the Libertarians to nominate him as their presidential candidate and was booed even more when he berated them for not following his directive.
He was nominated for their ballot and received six votes out of 1051 ?
