The western world is trending right, unfortunately. Trump is a significant factor and has the support of numerous far right parties throughout Europe. This is not the post World War II era any longer. People have forgotten what the western world went through back then. We don’t learn from history. So, here we are again, the US and our western allies frustrated and hoping to solve problems by going down the same path that we once fought to destroy. We replaced many authoritarian leaders in the 20th century but new wannabes are cropping up all over the place. I will not venture a guess as to how this will turn out but it doesn’t look promising.
