Rays of Hope for Democracy

 

Between yesterday's pushback against the far-right in France and the Labour Party win in the UK, I guess at least there are some things to feel good about, even while US politics is giving me the agita. Evil never rests though. Le Pen (and Salvini's La Lega) has some kind of Patriots for Europe thing cooking with Orban who had just gone sleazing off to visit Putin (not in a way that represents the EU).

Not sure how patriots of any stripe mooch up to Putin.

I have thoughts about that, and about how CPAC and Heritage seem to love, love, love Orban, too. But I think I will just be happy about the elections for a little while, first.

Unfortunately, to me it appears the Liberals and Leftists of France and UK see the direction the United States is going and if they're consuming our "News" it looks like we are going to empower a bloated life-long criminal and rapist fascist to the Presidency. So, they put aside their internecine squabbles as a bulwark against the Putin First MAGAts.
