An inconvenient truth. @turnbulldugarte.com and @emiliabelknap.bsky.social puncture a pervasive myth. ‬ "Among young respondents aged 18-25, a very comfortable majority of women reject Reform UK (75%), and a similarly large majority of men in the same age group share the same view (71%)."

Gemeenten wijzen aantijgingen Wilders over stemgesjoemel van de hand

Wilders stelt op sociale media dat het "berichten regent" van verdwenen of ongeldig verklaarde stemmen. Experts noemen het trumpiaans.

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

Figure this. US Army soldiers are forced by a narcissistic toddler to randomly kill South Americans.

Nobody in the world is safe anymore of US terror.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

This is really appalling: Rep Adam Smith tells me that in a briefing, Pentagon officials said they reserve the right to kill people who are "affiliated" with their list of "narco-terror groups."

But under questioning, they wouldn't define what "affiliated" means!

Losing populist Wilders starts spreading totally unfounded and conspiratorial messages on social media about voter fraud.

Where did he get the playbook? From another white wigged Orban buddy?

Understandable, albeit with a helicopter view.

Zooming in, the radical right parties (PVV, JA21, FvD & BBB) still hold a combined 46 seats in parliament. If we add the ‘liberal’ but rightward radicalised VVD and hardline christian SGP, the populist/radical right parties hold 71 of 150 seats (47%).
