3/10 Jeet Heer of The Nation saw the election fitting a global pattern: "centre-left vote consolidating behind pro-system politics" while "the right consolidates under anti-system politics." He questioned whether liberal centrism can "decisively defeat populist right."

Young Canadians favor Conservatives in election despite Trump threat By Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo VAUGHAN, Canada (Reuters) - Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre strode on stage for a rally at a union headquarters north of Toronto, as Canadian country music blared. "Who is voting for a change in Canada?!" he yelled. Poilievre, a 45-year-old career politician, then evoked nostalgia for the 1970s, when he said it was possible to pay off a mortgage in seven years in Canada compared to the decades it would take in some cities now. The opposition Conservatives, who a few months ago had a 20-point lead in polls, are expected to lose Monday’s election to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals thanks largely to Carney’s tough words for U.S. president Donald Trump. But Poilievre’s focus on cost of living is resonating with one set of voters: the young, and young men especially. A poll by Nanos on April 24 found 49.3% of voters aged 18-34 support the Conservatives, compared to 30% support for the Liberals. When all age groups were considered, the Liberals led 42.9% to 39.3%. Filtered for men of all ages, 45.5% prefer the Conservatives compared to 36.7% for the Liberals, the poll found. It surveyed 1,307 Canadians from April 21 to 23, and is considered accurate plus or minus 2.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. To Canadians under 35, Poilievre represents change after nearly 10 years of Liberal rule under Justin Trudeau - what Poilievre often refers to as the lost Liberal decade. How to afford a house and general living expenses, rather than relations with the United States, are their top concerns. Carney has distanced himself from Trudeau’s policies since taking over in March. "I’ve lived through the struggle of trying to get groceries, paying your bills and trying to save and start a family," said Joshua Dwyer, 24, a first-year journalism student at Toronto Metropolitan University, who was attending his third Poilievre rally. "It doesn’t work under the Liberal government. We’ve tried it for 10 years and it doesn’t work." Polls have tightened in recent days and Poilievre has drawn large crowds to such rallies. Though voter intention and large crowds do not necessarily translate to seats in Canada’s electoral system, youth turnout, particularly in the most populous provinces of Ontario and Quebec, could be key to an upset by Poilievre or to determining whether the Liberals get a majority in Parliament or have to rely on support from other parties to rule. Young people are historically the least likely to vote. Given the generational split, Conservative youth TikTok accounts are pushing a trend on the platform that encourages young conservatives to convince their parents to vote for Poilievre. Liberals have sought to compare Trump to the populist style of Poilievre, who wants to end government funding for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, dismantle homeless encampments in cities and did not allow press to travel with him on the campaign trail. Poilievre only mentioned Trump once, some 20 minutes into his Vaughan rally. His campaign team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. FEWER OPPORTUNITIES The average home price in Canada has risen about 70% since 2015, peaking in early 2022 during a high interest rate period, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. Carney and Poilievre have both talked extensively about housing and want to eliminate the federal sales tax on new homes. Cameron Pinto, a 24-year-old paramedic student at the rally, said he had more confidence in Poilievre’s approach, which he believed would reduce government involvement and allow the private sector to spearhead new housing development. "I’m here because I believe that mismanagement of the last 10 years has caused a lot of problems," Pinto said. Carney, 60, is new to electoral politics but has stressed his role as a crisis manager running the central banks of Canada and Britain during the 2008 financial crisis and Brexit - events that took place when many Gen Z voters were children. Young Canadians’ discontent and frustration mirror the United States and Europe, where young people have also leaned Conservative in recent years. "I think there’s an undercurrent among young adults that there are no longer the opportunities that earlier generations faced," said Paul Thomas, professor emeritus of political studies at University of Manitoba. “They haven’t learned the habit of voting. They don’t see it as much of a duty, as old people like me do."

Is the Decline of U.S. Influence Fueling a Rise in Global Authoritarianism? The trend towards authoritarianism is indeed accelerating globally, with political leaders in many countries becoming more emboldened in their authoritarian tendencies. This shift is partly due to diminishing U.S. influence and the rise of alternative power centers. ## Global Authoritarian Trends The world is witnessing a significant transformation in global power dynamics, with the United States no longer holding unchallenged superpower status[4]. This shift has emboldened authoritarian leaders and weakened democratic institutions worldwide: - Freedom House recorded the 18th straight year of decline in global democracy in 2023[5]. - Nearly 75% of the global population now resides in countries classified as 'autocracies'—a record high since 1978[6]. - For the first time in over twenty years, more nations are categorized as autocracies than democracies[6]. ## Declining U.S. Influence Several factors contribute to the waning U.S. influence, allowing authoritarian leaders to act with less fear of repercussions: - Economic shifts: Many countries are moving away from reliance on the U.S. dollar and engaging in new trade agreements[4]. - Military withdrawals: U.S. military presence is decreasing in some regions, creating power vacuums[4]. - Rise of alternative alliances: Groups like BRICS are offering alternatives to the U.S.-led world order[4][5]. ## Examples of Emboldened Authoritarian Leaders 1. **Turkey**: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has arrested and detained a prominent rival, solidifying the nation's drift towards autocracy[6]. 2. **Israel**: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is attempting to dismiss the head of Shin Bet, the nation's internal intelligence agency, as part of his strategy to maintain power[6]. 3. **Hungary**: Viktor Orban has been successful at manipulating a nominally democratic system to push conservative cultural issues[2].

## The Role of the United States The current U.S. administration's actions have contributed to this global shift: - The Trump administration's overhaul of federal institutions and questionable legal maneuvers have raised concerns about democratic norms in the U.S.[6]. - There are plans to install loyalists and ideologues at high levels of diplomatic, military, and intelligence agencies, potentially creating chaos in U.S. foreign policy[2]. - The U.S. is seen as moving towards a departure from democracy, with significant worldwide repercussions[6]. As authoritarian leaders around the world observe these changes, they feel emboldened to pursue their own agendas with less fear of U.S. intervention or repercussions. This trend is likely to continue unless there is a significant shift in global power dynamics or a renewed commitment to democratic values from influential nations.

Post 2/5:
MAGA isn't a coherent ideology.

It's a complex mix of techno-futurists, nativists, libertarians, and pro-lifers.

Importantly, it's grown more racially diverse and isn't inherently anti-Semitic.
