According to many polls, at the moment the feelings of many Canadians can be summed up as āIām pissed off at how bad things are right now, so next time around I will vote for someone who will make things even worse.ā #cndpoli

@Jgmeadows My brother voted in the Brexit referendum with exactly this perspective. "Things can't possibly get any worse can they?" he said in 2016 justifying his Leave vote - he saw it as a protest of 6 years of brutal (and ideologically imposed) austerity.How f*cking wrong he proved to be. I'm glad I got on my bike and moved to Canada afterward, but it feels like Groundhog day for me.

@NovaNaturalist @Jgmeadows Wanna guess how (many) Americans voted around that time... (It's funny in that you cry if you don't laugh...)

@Aviva_Gary @Jgmeadows I don't pretend to understand US politics enough, but I can anticipate Trump got some votes in a similar fashion.

@NovaNaturalist @Aviva_Gary @Jgmeadows Both electorates were bombarded with the same coordinated messaging.

@cat_static @Aviva_Gary @Jgmeadows indeed, and both were illegally given psychometric profiling data by Meta/Cambridge Analytica AND Meta ran unattributable ads with triggers specific to the psycho profile (I guess my brother's was "it can't get any worse can it?")

@cat_static @Aviva_Gary @Jgmeadows Its not lost on me that Nick Clegg - the guy who allowed the whole Tory austerity agenda to wreck havoc on the UK is head of international affairs at Meta. As LibDems leader, he was rightly kicked out in the 2015 election, after going into a hateful, illiberal and undemocratic coalition government with Cameron and Osborne.I guess his job at Meta enabled him to extend his hateful havoc.

@NovaNaturalist @Aviva_Gary @Jgmeadows I hope he's at burning man and suffering. That's the nicest thought I can muster.

@cat_static @Aviva_Gary @Jgmeadows I think if Nick Clegg took the place of Edward Woodward at the Wicker Man, it may be satisfying, but it wouldn't improve next year's crops (I know you were referencing something else, but this is what came to my mind).
