Summary
Far-right leaders worldwide, including Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro, celebrated Donald Trump’s recent U.S. election victory as a major boost for conservative and nationalist movements globally.
Orbán praised the win as a “much-needed victory for the world,” while Bolsonaro framed it as a triumph over “arrogant elites.”
Argentina’s libertarian president, Javier Milei, expressed solidarity, and Spanish and Portuguese far-right leaders saw it as a turning point for Europe.
Bolsonaro, despite being banned from Brazilian elections, hopes Trump’s resurgence will inspire his own political comeback. Analysts, however, see little immediate impact on Bolsonaro’s rehabilitation prospects.
That’s who you voted for, more than half of Americans who voted.
And all of you who didn’t vote, you voted for it too.
And all of you who didn’t vote, you voted for it too.
that’s a sad thing that a lot of those people don’t want to accept. If you didn’t vote (for whatever reason you tell yourself), you are saying “whatever happens, it’s fine by me”
Mutual aid will be more important than ever, join and build up your local groups if you’re able, it will pay off in dividends in the coming years.
This election has only proven how electoralism cannot be relied upon, it’s just us now. We need to build the world we want to live in, without corporate influence.
- Search your local area + ‘mutual aid’.
- Help your local food not bombs.
- Create a worker owned cooperative with your friends if possible, or join an existing one.
- Help spread the meshtastic network to build up communication resilience in your community.
- Plant trees in your community to help reduce the heat island effect for the coming heatwaves.
- Create or join a community garden near you to bolster food availability and foster connections with those around you.
- engage in guerrilla urbanism, make your community safer to walk or bike
- encourage your coworkers to unionize under the IWW, contact them for help on how to unionize your workplace.
- vote in your local elections to try and have a state or city government that is less hostile to the above actions, but continue to build decentralized power independently of them regardless. Do not make the mistake of handing off the responsibility to make things better to them, it’s up to YOU, and your community, and hopefully other nearby communities doing the same, but that is all.
We have tremendous collective power if we just use it, and hopefully this outcome will result in us coming together and building that world in the shell of the old. Collective solidarity is our only solution left.
