So glad this goof didnt get elected.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, he had to have his own election to get a seat this time around.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (5 children)

He may win next election unfortunatly

The pro trump anti woke rhetoric is not popular. I didnt believe it since I live in Alberta and my sample group is a bunch of drooling fucking morons, but after watching him tank the last election by leaning pro trump I think they will have to ditch him and that approach if the conservatives want to win.

I hope you're right but with the way Carney is absolutely shitting the bed with leftists, I'm not sure we'll have as many people leaning Liberal next time which could lead to a Conservative minority. I know a lot of people that are regretting not voting NDP even though they normally would have.

Yeah Carney pulled out the win on anti-Trump sentiment but since then he's put his elbows down. Way down.

Our Liberals are as weak as the Democrats and we're all going to pay for it.

Yes. Stupidity and hate is also a weapon for the Canadian-style fascists.

Because an extremist like him cannot convince enough swing voters to vote for him. I know conservatives who voted for Carney because he’s essentially a Blue Tory or what would have been a progressive conservative back in the day before the Conservative Party in Canada got taken over by the extremist Reform party. No way PeePee appeals to enough moderates. Harper and Peter McKay merged the conservatives and the reform and we haven’t had a conservative PM since Harper a decade ago. Canadians federally are mostly just liberal.

Not to mention, as long as Doug Ford (the most powerful conservative in Canada) is in power in Ontario, federally the country will never go conservative. There is always either a conservative federal government with a liberal Ontario provincial government or a liberal federal government with a conservative Ontario provincial government. They never align.

So no. PeePee will never be PM.

Extremist Trump won though and it was obvious that he would make america trash again

We have an entirely different system up here.

Unless the NDP come out swinging HARD promising social services and never shutting up, he'll definitely win.

I can never tell if politicians honestly believe the National Socialism of the Nazis was actually socialist, of if they're taking advantage of dumb voters. If it's the opinion of a "man on the street", then yes, he's that dumb.

After spending a couple of years on Lemmy and hearing actual socialist rhetoric, I can see why people would conflate the two.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the answer to your confusion is in the fact that the actions National Socialists always take is the oppression and subjugation of the vulnerable in society.

that in itself is proof that they are not socialists, but fascists.

Their rhetoric was that they'd target the secret cabal controlling the banking system. Their actions were to subjugate the vulnerable, but that's exactly what socialist governments do, too.
