This says everything about politics in 2025:

Far-right, pro-US, anti-China candidate José Antonio Kast won Chile's presidential election.

Kast, a Trump ally, is a staunch defender of the Pinochet dictatorship, and the son of a German Nazi official.

He also is very pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just voted to give Trump $900 billion in additional military spending.
Republicans are lying to you about the economy.

They think the affordability crisis is a hoax.
