re: #288 Belafon

The point being that I don’t buy the “We’re never going to get competent leadership again.” Canada elected someone that did pretty much what Trump is trying to do. And then he got replaced.

That is wafer thin, nano thin. Harper came out of government out west. He was moderately crooked and did some bad stuff (that trump is mirroring especially in only getting out friendly data) but there is no comparison between trump and Harper or Canada and the US. Canada wasn’t on a precipice of becoming a fascist dictatorship. Not even under Harper. I hated the guy but these two things are not even in the same galaxy let alone ballpark.
