Not just America, another Trump presidency is bad news for all of us. Yes, the USA is not the center of the world but they do have a lot of influence.

Unfortunately we are the rome of our time...and we seem to be following in their footsteps more and more.

Hey mighty brontosaurus

Don't you have a lesson for us

You thought your rule would always last

There were no lessons in your past

You were built three stories high

They say you would not hurt a fly

If we explode the atom bomb

What would they say when we were gone?

Walking in your footsteps...

There's a lot of far right movement happening around the world and evertime they come back from their propaganda meetings in Hungary, there's a new far right idea regurgitated. Even Trump and other Republicans went and came bace with talking terms for Republican Americans.

Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈfidɛs]; Hungarian: Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szövetség) is a right-wing populist and national-conservative political party in Hungary led by Viktor Orbán.

Not exactly. Sure it seems that way for all of us, but we really didn't have the political weight that we have globally until after WWII.
