Is there any correlation between the current state of the world and every government backsliding into ultraconservative leadership?

Seems to be a lot of this going around.

Now you know how most Americans felt when Mango Mussolini got elected again.

@remington Yea, I do. And I did as well. However, I kinda feel this guy is actually worse, lol. Like, the dude is almost a schizo, hardly has any idea how tech and social media actually works and looks like he was backed by whatever secret intelligence or anything. There's no way this guy would jump from total irrelevance with almost no public exposure as well (orange guy did appear in various TV shows fwiw). For example, he said he doesn't use his phone because he fears 5G, yet he uses the headsets instead.
