Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/TheAmericanFascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheAmericanFascist</span></a> uttered this morning.</p><p>“I’m proud to be the President for the workers, not the outsourcers; the President who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street; who protects the middle class, not the political class; and who defends America, not trade cheaters all over the globe.”</p><p>The left wing social democratic forces of the world (including the <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Liberals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberals</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/NDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NDP</span></a> in Canada) have been so neutered and brow beaten into incrementalism and neo-Liberal corporate capture, that a right wing, billionaire-wannabe, near-Nazi fascist, and politicians who want to be like him (Pierre Poillievre) have stolen the rallying cries of working men and women (but mostly men).</p><p>These were the warnings working people and socialist forces screamed when Free Trade and privatization was born by Reagan and Mulroney, Thatcher and Chirac. The de-unionization of western economies, the decimation of public infrastructure for private “partnerships”…</p><p>Now here we are, it all got so bad that the regular person, struggling to put inflated food on the table, or put their children through inflated college, are so fed up that they submit to the regressive, racist, anti-human, bloviations of populist tyrants.</p><p>A pox on you, “Liberals” and “Democrats” of the world.</p><p>You chose corporations while you placated people with false promises and false hopes.</p><p>You enabled the worst of the human condition through complacency and greed.</p><p>Your limp, unconvincing defence of Liberalism and Democratic values destroyed both.</p><p>What will you do to win back the podium to speak for working people? Perhaps you don’t deserve to.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/populism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>populism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/rightwing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rightwing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/neoliberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neoliberal</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Liberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberal</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/tradewar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tradewar</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/trumpTariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trumpTariffs</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elxn45</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/cpc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cpc</span></a></p>
