Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?

Obviously they haven't gone far left enough. /s

Some people want easy solutions. Not unlike Trump voters.

He's partially right.

Unfortunately, I think the bigger issue is that a majority of Americans are fascists or indifferent to fascism.

“But are there not many fascists in your country?"

"There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the times comes.”

Verus for comparison.

It definitely looks like someone trying to make Marcus Aurelius rather than an original bust or proper reproduction.

Yeah.

We'll see if any of that comes to fruition, or is allowed to do so by the fascists just put into power, unlike the last thousand times the far-right in a country has won elections.

He's right. The US can't be relied on for the next four years, at minimum. Hell, parts of the apparatus might be turned against European security.

Please, look after yourselves.

Turns out they didn't know something we didn't.

Hogan was very popular in the state. If Trump wasn't on the ballot, it might have been competitive.

Hey man, I don't know your situation and all the details, but it's not at all ridiculous to call it spousal abuse or gaslighting. That's fucking dark, and that your son is picking up on it is darker. Your other kid likely isn't blind to it either, especially since she's started receiving that sort of treatment and being treated as the scapegoat. That sort of situation leaves deep scars on both spouse (you) and children. You don't have to be in physical danger (though abuse often escalates) to be in danger. Damage from abuse lasts a lifetime.

100% on all points

In terms of target, certainly, but in terms of "Is using Starship Troopers bad?", not really. It'd be one thing if it was obscure, or wasn't a long-established meme, but it's... not. "It's afraid" as an image response was kicking around back when I was in highschool on php forums. It's just part of the meme lexicon at this point.

"It's afraid" is a longstanding meme from Starship Troopers.
