I’ll be tagging the rest again so you can mute it if you want to, but I just want to make sure that everybody understands how much the results of the Dutch elections are going to suck for everyone who is not a white cis male.

This is our Trump. Our ‘Netherlands First’ and ‘Make Holland Great Again’. If this man, Geert Wilders, gets to rule, everything that's important will actively get worse, everything that needs swift action will get put on the back burner.

Trans folks? Fucked. Muslims? Fucked. Climate action? Fucked.

All because a refugee forgot where she came from, and went all in on her quest for power.

This really sucks.

@sindarina I don't think it's just Yesilgöz personally who is to blame, although I think she certainly contributed. I have a horrible feeling that part of the people who left the VVD to vote for PVV didn't vote for VVD because it's being led by someone who is proof that immigration and taking in refugees works.

@webhat No, it's not just her, but she fronted it, went along with it, decided it was an acceptable trade-off.

Without that, it wouldn't have worked nearly as well.
