As an outsider I'll never understand any of the internal national politics of the United States of America. I can only try to infer based on what I see on the news, read in the paper, and hear from those I follow online.

With that said—I'm genuinely concerned for the U.S.A., and the global community.

In 2016, Trump being elected could be blamed on 1) not knowing any better, or 2) assuming it couldn't be as bad as 'they' say.

This time, there's absolutely no excuse.

Trump is a facist—this is clear and evident when you compare his words and actions against the facists we know from history. His claims indicate he wants to be a dictator, and that his own party can't even stop him—even if they wanted to, which they clearly don't.

As someone living in Canada, the closest neighbouring country and ally to the U.S.A., I'm watching with a careful eye at what comes next.
