The Netherlands has a multi-party system just like reformers in the US want, reputable elections, biking infrastructure that people won't shut up about, a long tradition of social democracy, and just had a far-right election victory. The rise of fascism is not some trickery by Trump or the Russians or the US system: it's part of the world-wide failure of neoliberalism, which suppressed the left and then died.
@RichPuchalsky I'm being unfair here, but a Onion style headline came to mind: People From The Continent That Invented Fascism Surprised Fascist Won
@magnetmagician @RichPuchalsky Oh, we're not *surprised* that the fascist won. We're just angry that the fascist won.
