"(...) The degeneration of which Mr. Trump is a symptom is by no means limited to American political life. If Trump is not a reincarnation of Hitler, he is most certainly one head of the same global Hydra that has already given us Vladimir V. Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Narendra Modi. For all of them, the past is not something to study and to attend to, but something to sculpt. (...)


Mr. Trump himself appears indifferent to history, as well as to the grave significance of the comparisons of him to Hitler. It’s true that Donald Trump is not Hitler. But the fact that the comparison has any traction at all, that it is a recognizable part of our new political dialogue, and that the man at its center is not actively seeking to prove it wrong, shows how severe the current crisis is, and hints at how dark the future might get" ("NYT")

temos graves problemas partout, mon ami:

trampas in the US of A, merdas na UE, e do resto não falaremos, por agora, que preciso de me alimentar 400 crianças depois e seus profs. (metade - 20 & tal - dondocas de direita, daquelas de cabelo armado, o prestígio da carreira docente & o caralho & tal).
