right wing politicians win again by a lot, at this point I live in this country out of pure spite to piss them off

I'll never understand why people don't want to vote. I'm aware my left-wing candidate has zero chanses of winning in my conservative country but at least I tired to fight. Go vote whenever you can while you still can.

uniting the left against the centrist and right wing parties under the Green Party is a great way to take back power

there’s a lot pointing toward it: the immigration enforcement raids and the border detainments which are all scary and inhumane. the further attacks on education and attempts to rewrite history (which was happening at state-level like Florida but are harder to fight at the federal level). the president is seriously talking about a 2028 term which is technically unconstitutional in the US (presidents can only serve for 2 terms). they have arrested a mayor and a judge for different reasons related to the immigration legal fights which is unheard of. the treatment of Gaza is even worse than under Biden (which was already evil). they’re straight up ignoring judges on certain decisions. DOGE funding cuts are destroying the public sector and they’ve repeatedly fired completely essential workers and had to re-hire them bc it “broke“ systems. ending funding for things like cancer research and HIV medication, attacking vaccines, banning so-called “DEI” and trans girls from sports, and so much more.
honestly in my opinion the US has been hardly a democracy forever, for marginalized folks, but this is like steps above that in that they’re reversing so much progress so quickly. we’re not even 6 months into Trump’s second term.
also i work in the ngo/nonprofit sector and something else scary is how much human rights workers are very concerned about the possibility of our organizations even being able to exist within the next few years (if not sooner) due to the administration which i also feel says so much. and this applies across issue areas from immigration legal support to climate action and many other types of orgs
from a historical standpoint we are actually an outlier in not having a new form of government since the country was founded - other countries have had changes but our system has been the same for 100s of years so we’re “overdue” in a sense.
one silver lining is how incompetent these leaders sometimes are but i still think it is going to take a very long time to reverse the damage being done. however i’ve been keeping up some hope! just yesterday i saw this video of a neighborhood successfully kicking ICE out simply through booing them and keeping a united front. so there are more things like that happening and i hope we continue to see it!
