Now that a non-citizen, and noted Fascist, Elon Musk has flashed a verified Nazi salute at the inauguration of a US President, I can conclude we are in a very dark place for now. I wonder how many will realize this before it's too late. I'm not feeling optimistic at the moment.

CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians."
Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."

Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

Many in the GOP have said that Canada needs to be ‘liberated’ because our ‘democracy’ is in danger.

The forces that worked together to get 47 elected will be focusing on us next. We have fresh water and abundant mineral resources. The "firehose of lies" in the lead up to our next election is going to be on a scale we've never seen before. I sincerely hope the other parties are prepared for it.
