        A lot of the rest of the world has either been voting their Bernies away or is in the process to do so. Right wing populism is taking over many other countries as well, just look at Europe. Almost all countries here have either right wing governments or are drifting towards it at the moment.

          It’s not right wing populism. It’s the political field slowly and steadily cleaned of anybody inconvenient, and mass media slowly eroded. People who come to power because of this love to play right wing populism because they liked it when they were voters. But most of their voter base are not right wing populists, they just have 2 (sometimes 3) bad choices of which the predictable one always wins.

            Yes. Freeing yourself from your fantasy that they hate you because they ain’t you and accepting the fact that they hate you because your nation is a terrorist shithole and your population doesn’t have to be afraid that they get fucking murdered if they were to protest against it, this would be step 1.

            Bernie comes along the line. Just stop couping and destabilizing first.

        The rest of the world … is not.

        Most of it is run by murderers and sometimes thieves. Actually non-murderous thieves are a good thing. One of the least evil variants.
