They failed consistently to provide a viable democratic counter to the Socialists for the past 25 years (pretty much since the end of the Thatcher era), and this means that there was no effective place for anyone who was suffering from socialist policy (which includes an ever-growing number of people).<br /><br />The reason people vote for UKIP is because the Tories have betrayed everything they stand for. The reason people vote for Le Pen in France is because there's no more-democratic party to support that would actually change anything.<br /><br />People are are mostly voting for the most democratic party possible that will actually do a damn thing.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-60687901026035190362016-05-07T10:58:30.604-04:002016-05-07T10:58:30.604-04:00I am talking about Islamists that not only want to...I am talking about Islamists that not only want to spread the religion, but make it into law where everyone must obey even if you don't follow the religion. We are talking about killing gays and atheists alike on the spot if they are discovered. Forcing women to become second class citizens and that is if they are lucky.<br /><br />That is bad enough and when these people commit crimes. It is worst when the government orders the police to let the Islamists get away with it because if the police did their job the precious narrative would be harmed. This forces the people who have every right to be angry to do desperate things. Mainly to support parties who are fascists, but want to get rid of the Islamists.<br /><br />It is getting ugly for Europe. The eastern half of it is building walls. The western is tearing itself apart as its welfare programs are being suck dry by a parasitic mass of young fighting age men. All the while Russia gets stronger and more respected each passing day. Mind you it is suspected that it was Russia that caused the migrant crisis to disablized the west.<br /><br />All around a ugly mess that anyone can see if they bother to look. Only Trump bothered to mention it and say something about it. The American people are not stupid. They know Europe is in trouble and don't want that mess here. Hell homeland security is watching Canada as we speak.<br /><br />Now before any one calls me racist I didn't say muslim. I said Islamists. In other words I am talking about radicals that want to replace western values with their laws and force everyone to obey it. So no I not attacking muslims.Snowman0147https://www.blogger.com/profile/04811245101715889991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-19383923600113940772016-05-07T08:58:24.405-04:002016-05-07T08:58:24.405-04:00I thought my team had a chance this season, but th...I thought my team had a chance this season, but they are getting pounded.El Gauchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019436068380204226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-28677113979750144012016-05-07T08:54:08.665-04:002016-05-07T08:54:08.665-04:00Both populists.

And also, what do you expect from the socialist governments in Europe? The far-right wing is gaining power with democratic means! They can't win either way. If they let the democratic process continue, apparently they are "defending" the fascists, if they block them, they are robbing the people of their choice. They are screwed either way.El Gauchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019436068380204226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-64497832806692708722016-05-07T01:30:53.443-04:002016-05-07T01:30:53.443-04:00Trump isn't really a fascist.

The slogan "Make Amer...So many miss the point. The slogan "Make America Great Again" resonates because there is a huge, silent majority of Americans who are sick and tired of being told we "can't" do this or "shouldn't" do that, or that it's "too hard" to do the other. <br /><br />America built the Hoover Dam. Americans fought alongside our allies and defeated the largest military force in history. America sent men to the Moon. Americans did so, SO many things. And to now be led by people who say we can't, shouldn't, couldn't... Trump calls us to a higher purpose, not only for our country, but ourselves. <br /><br />Obama's empty slogan of "Yes, we can!" finds meaning when paired with "Make America Great Again!" Anyone who loses sight of that will be bewildered come November.

The news media bought out Hillary so they do their damnest to ensure she wins. They ignore Bernie who people want. They spread lies about Trump who people want.<br /><br />If any thing the real fascists are in Europe having a field day as the socialist governments over there defend them. Yet the guy who spoken with boarder patrols is being called a fascist. For what? Trying to protect his nation?

He seems to be a New Dealer, it's not like he's talking about nationalizing anything or removing private industry. He's not far enough left to look like a socialist to me. I'm pretty comfortable in the center.<br /><br />Trump is what he is, a symptom of a fundamentally non-functioning system. I don't think Clinton and Obama's brand of "center left" is any better than Trump's nationalistic "center right," I happen to loathe both presumptive nominees.<br /><br />I don't know how I feel about folks outside the US being so invested in this race, either. It feels like people dancing on my country's grave.

I mean, didn't they fought a war AGAINST fascism?
