The effect in real time of unbridled MAGA on predicted Canadian election outcomes, based on polling data over time.

Not only did this turn out to be accurate, but Maple MAGA leader Poilièvre even lost his own seat that he'd held for 21 years.

A bit of sane news for once.

Yknow it is kinda funny how his tariffs thing increased liberal popularity there and in general he's such a cunt in everyone's eyes now because he's so extreme that we might even see some centrist stuff come back as a result, which would be cool, imo

We're already there, the libs are absolutely a central party, albeit slightly left leaning (yet absolutely never as left as your usual Fuck Trudeau/MAGA identifiers idiots would have you believe). The NDP are Canada's big leftie party. They got completely fucked in this election. So badly that they lost their official party status.

And make no mistake, the rightward swing that is happening everywhere is happening in Canada too. Just not to the extreme of the crazy neighbours down south.

I wouldn't be knowledgeable at all on Canadian politics other than stuff I used to see on twitter before I cleaned it up but I do hope the far side of anything, be it left or right is never going to be a winner. I used to think I was lefty but I'm just a left handed centrist really, apart from when I was briefly turned into the far right for being a centrist during covid and over some immigration stuff but nah, not really.

Whoever is the centrist party on things, fair play to em

More utterly reckless bullshit from RFK:

Amazing how tightly woven the new far right positions are, all the same. Here you've got anti-vax, pro-natalism, and anti-abortion rights all rolled into one BS statement.

That brainworm must be dog-tired at this stage.

Edit: John Oliver's latest on RFK is also worth a watch, if you want a condensed presentation of what that loon has been up to and can stomach Oliver's humour.

... a lot of foetus debris! Fucking hell.

Just when you think there is no more decorum left for The MAGA House to jettison...

I was going to say his supporters would surely call this blasphemy but, well...no, they wouldn't.

They'd fucking love it because they're retarded.

And I say this as someone who thought he'd do better than Harris

The fact that it's posted by the fucking White House is madness.

There's gonna be meaty chapters about this loon in history books.

Unless this is just the beginning... maybe this is what the politics of the future looks like.
