Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term, tore into the administration’s handling of its relationship with Canada in a new Substack post.
“Canada is demonstrating, for every democracy watching, that the response to Trump’s bullying should be neither submission nor hysteria… but the calm construction of alternatives,” he wrote. “Our allies aren’t leaving because they hate America. They’re leaving because they miss us, and they can’t stand the bully who’s holding us hostage.”
You spend too much time on American based media if you think the rise of far-right fascism is exclusive to the United States. It’s happening in countries across the globe.
Go ahead and fan the flames of division with self righteous indignation.
Or you could remember “today you, tomorrow me”. Hate does not care about borders on a map. We are all human and most of us are just trying to get through life. Humanity would get a lot further if we spent more time lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down.
I don’t think the rise of far-right fascism is exclusive to the United States. What did I say that made you think that I did or even might?
The Rise of the Far Right Is a Global Phenomenon
I agree that the rise of the far right is a global phenomenon, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a problem in the United States and certainly doesn’t mean that the problems in the United States, of which the rise of the far right is just one, are not bigger than Trump’s behaviour and authority.
