Jason Van Taco @jasonvantaco.bsky.social · 24/09/2026As long as the center refuses to name the cause of the fall in the standards of living (wealth inequality created by an untaxed super-rich), the far right will be able to exploit this by blaming immigrants and trans kids. This is precisely what is happening in Germany with the Afd. 020
Jason Van Taco @jasonvantaco.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You're going to need a candidate who hasn't taken money from Billionaires and is willing to break ties with Israel, to capture the Overton window.

Jason Van Taco @jasonvantaco.bsky.social · 21/09/2026In times of great wealth inequality people get scared and turn to strong men like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Pierre Polievre who offer them easy solutions.
