I thought Britain was worlds away from Trump’s America – until I needed to get an abortion | Anonymous
  • your body, my choice

    That policy doesn't even work. Romania tried this. Decree 770 outlaw all abortions and contraceptives. Parents dumped their children at orphanages because they couldn't afford to raise them. The regime was in the end toppled, in large part because of all the children raised in poverty and from orphanages.

  • Russia’s sabotage of western targets ‘could trigger Nato defence clause’
  • It went to proxy wars after the cold war. There were a whole series of conflicts and interventions where USA and/or Russia were involved, sometimes more, sometimes less. Ukraine is basically the end boss of the proxy wars.

  • Many Such Cases
  • It's a pretty classic recipe by now.

    Make voters scared and angry by identifying lots of issues (cost of living, security) that are affecting their lives. Shift anger and blame to external group (China, migrants, LGBTQ+). Propose easy and quick solutions that only vaguely work on a surface level (deportation, tariffs, government efficiency) but voters are too angry to think critically by now, take it at face value and vote for false solutions.

    Next step once elected is to start dismantle media scrutiny to control the narrative, capture democratic institutions so everything becomes biased against your politician opponents and start to change laws governing elections to consolidate your power.

    It's happening in other places too. Countering this seems hard for other parties. So far it seems to be waiting until the mess being made with the quick and easy solution becomes too big and the other side comes in to clean it up, then getting blamed not everything is fixed and the cycle repeats.
