America's Democratic Party is split with tribal factions.

Britain's Labour Party looks to lose a big landslide loss.

Etc.

Because when you sow chaos, you reap chaos.

People have finally figured out that not all cultures are equal, that their own culture is better than some others and that they want to keep their culture pretty much as it is.

The people are finally figuring out that your can’t bring in millions of foreigners in to your country an expect your country to stay the same.

You can’t bring people from a violent country to your country and expect that the violence won’t come with them.

They are finally figuring out that their Liberal leaders are full of IT.

Cause the people don’t want what they have to offer.

People were realizing that those in the left were trying to herd them into a one world government order and are fighting back.

Rejection of the extent of the policies of globalism/collectivism/statism, not to mention evidence of the consequences of many of those policies which are in force and have been in force for enough time for the fruits to ripen.

People are fooled into thinking they are virtuous when they are to the left, but when they see it affecting them negatively, their personal instincts kick in. That is, they become aware and rational.

The trick of being a lefty politician is to hide consequences from voters. That is, to lie effectively.

Both sides do their share of lying, but with the right, it's a character flaw whereas with the left it's not only a virtue, it's the only way to get people to vote for things that are not only against their interest but have proven over and over again during the course of history to cause nothing but massive suffering.

Yep. That’s why the world elites hate him. He represents a threat to the New World Order. He IS the one holding it all back.

Obama.

He brought in a wave of corruption unlike what we have seen in along time. Mismanged two wars, then started two more. He let Hillary sell secrets (but not for money), Biden incompetently handle Ukraine and Syria, let Mueller, Brennan and Comey lay the ground work for a police state, and let both parties double the debt. Ruled by decree and regulation more than legislation. Allowed the corruption of the FBI, DOJ and CIA to spy on Trump and who knows who else, then walked away as they tried to frame the President to cover their own crimes.

Now its coming due.

1) They suck.

2) Trump has shown everyone what they're missing.

Yep, radicalism and chaos are near synonyms. The globalist left is forcing radical tyranny on us but the joke’s on them: radical tyranny is misery for all but those at the very top.

I’ve noticed the left has a tendency to overreach. They have gone beyond the limit of sanity, and the sane are responding.

They have long wanted a mono-culture. There is only one politik and to hell with any one who does not obey this precisely.

This combativeness has been used against independents and conservatives, often in the form of speech and thought control (e.g.politcial correctness).

But this combativeness has put blood in the mouth of those wanting to be the leaders of their singular thought.

And that means even turning on their own as we see the slamming of the old moderate liberal guard
