Yeah, we know. Unfortunately we have a guy up here (Poilievre) who wants to do the same thing in Canada. Canadians, please vote to prevent this man turning Canada into the same Nazi shitshow as the USA.
Poilievre is a socially conservative shithead, but he's not anywhere close to Trump on the authoritarian scale. I'd like it if we could keep the hyperbole out of our politics, thanks.
I'm responding to things like this:
Canada’s Tory leader vows to deport foreigners for antisemitic crimes
Now antisemitic crimes are one thing, but he includes pro-Palestinian "hate marches" which apparently means people protesting Israel's attacks on Gaza and the West Bank. Designating protests against Israel as hateful and critics of the Israeli government and military as antisemitic is very much a copycat Trump policy.
I believe that Trump opened up a lot of Canadian eyes to the dangers of fascism.
Unfortunately I think it also opened up alot of fascists' eyes in how easy it is to gain power in this modern day and age
