People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Other countries - it’s coming for you. You’ll have your own MAGA cult soon if you don’t already.

Not too downplay the serious threat the hard right represent all over the world but it's not likely that they will get mega into other countries. Firstly because everyone can see what an absolute disaster they have been in the US but also because Trump isn't possible without a cult of personality and that's really hard to achieve.

Le Pen tried it in France and Nigel Farage is trying it in the UK and both have run up against the limits of support. There's always going to be the racists and the stupid who will vote for them (who then turned to inviting when things don't go their way), but they don't have the personality credits to convince the fence sitters over to their side.

I hope you're right.

For a hilarious result, look at what happened to clive palmer in Australia.

Sadly hatesink hanson is still extant.

Yeah and a couple decades ago they ran up against the limits of support here in the US too.
