    An excellent summary that should sound reasonable to anyone who’s looking at the situation rationally. As an outsider, I can’t really understand why it’s so close.

    That said, in BC, Canada, our election in 18 days is too close to call, and the BC Cons are basing policy on American QAnon conspiracy theories (that teachers are part of a secret cabal brainwashing children). And our federal Cons are polling to coast to an easy majority government next year… with even more unhinged views. So it’s not like we’re doing much better up here.

    I don’t understand how these elections can be this close. How can ~47% of the population support anti-trans, misogynist, racist bullies? It makes me want to weep.
