      There’s a trend asking world leaders to see how much shit they can get away with without facing consequences.

        I fully believe it’s because of Trump.
        The US has billed itself as THE example of freedom and peaceful transfer of power for 200 years, and really started shoving it down the rest of the world’s throat after the end of WWII.
        But, all Trump had to do was come along and say “no, fuck you” to every safeguard we had against it and we did absolutely fucking nothing to stop him.
        So, if it works here, why wouldn’t it work everywhere else?
        Now we’re going to see every right wing world leader doing the same thing, and they know because Trump got elected again he won’t be giving them a healthy dose of freedom for trying that shit.
