Federal: Canadian government (Liberal minority) is okay, they try to do awful bullshit but they’re also good on social issues and are pushing through high-speed rail. Conflicted, but I’m okay with it.

Provincial: abysmal dogshit. Completely dropping the ball on the housing crisis, constantly burning billions on random bs and then cutting funding to actually good stuff like schools. The ruling party (CAQ) is projected to get 0 seats on the next election though, down from an absolute majority.

City: Super duper based, /c/fuckcars would be proud.

Country: USA, do I really have to say?

State: Texas, double down on above

City: I’m in a pretty privileged position where this level doesn’t affect me much.

I only moved recently so I don’t know too much but… No rating for both

No local government for almost a year and a half now. Allegedly there is a left-wing Islamic party and a left-wing socialist party that have severe difficulties with forming coalitions

Federal government coalition is led by a right-wing party with the prime minister being an asshole so I don’t exactly like it… But things are running & far-right wasn’t in the coalition, so I guess I can’t complain

Can’t say much about the local government. Yes, city council votes went well enough, but there will be a deciding election in ten days, so I don’t know yet who will be mayor.

State and federal government cares more for the companies and the rich instead for the people, and still wonder why people turn to right-wingers who promise to fix that. I’m not that stupid, they would only make the graft worse.

In the U.S., the federal government is obviously bad, but I’m honestly more concerned about the voting populace that elected it. They got so desperate and fed up with both parties they voted for the strong man that promised them he could rewind time, and apparently didn’t have the basic level of empathy and psychological wherewithal to see him for what he is: a pathologically narcissistic conman.

The Trump administration is a problem, but it’s not the problem. The problem is that both Republicans and Democrats are so dislikable as political parties that enough people are so fed up with them that they’ll vote for someone like Trump instead. That’s just really sad.

I’m French. Do I have to say more?

City: Sucks. Huge city of over 100k people; they act like it’s a rural suburb of less than 10k so everything is basically fucked by the number of people using things (roads, public services, etc) that are severely underfunded or underscaled.

State: All things considered, it’s alright. It’s not great, but it could be so, so much worse.

Country: Shit is absolutely cooked.

Local government is mid, I’m going to give them a solid C tier. State government is… probably B tier. Federal government… F? Possibly G or even H tier? Depending on how much of a tier list purist you are.

City and state are pretty good, but the national is a sewage plant fire

Local (won’t be saying where), I never really leave the area, and neither does my producer. Decent area to be in if things go bad.

As for the country itself… yeah, it’s completely in a state of civil war, spearheaded by Rome (as with all the countries that are toast). Christofascism and Judeofascism are on the rise, and the whole point of it is to get people obeying the Pope (taking the Mark of the Beast on the right hand) at least, if not revere him (MOTB on the forehead).

Canada:

A disappointment in some ways based on what we were promised during the campaign and especially in his dealings with the fascists to our south. Not an absolute catastrophe (despite what Maple MAGA cries on every social network), but definitely not focused on the little guy like they said they would be.

To be honest, I feel kind of tricked a little bit. We had a legitimately good third party that usually held the balance of power (NDP) and could use their votes to cooperate with the ruling Liberals to get some legitimately good things done. (You support 10 dollar a day daycare or we won’t use our votes to help you…that kind of thing). But during the last election, there was so much fear mongering about the Conservatives that we were essentially convinced that we needed to sacrifice the NDP in order to avoid splitting the vote. So now we have a party that can basically do whatever they want for the most part.

Even if it is the far far better of the two parties that has that power, the lack of a third party check and balance is bothersome.

but…still far far far preferable to Pierre Poppinfresh and his MAGA-lite cultists.

Southwest New Hampshire, USA

Local: Not bad. Mostly moderate liberals who do work to improve to the conditions in the city. Fencesit too much for their own good sometimes when it comes to taking a stand on something.

State: Fucking awful. Completely full of MAGA dipshits passing anti-trans laws and doing nothing but gutting budgets (a city nearby me had to take out a private loan to fund their school system this year) and ignoring the huge problems we have (opiate abuse, housing, and mental healthcare).

Federal:

Germany: Merz. My Little Nazi. Lindner and Merz worked together to discredit the Greens and it worked. The AfD keeps winning local elections.

Local is weird. AfD popular even though the area literally depends on French customers for income.

Country is fucked.

Netherlands:

Country: an utter clusterfuck. After a fifteen year neoliberal government, the far right have taken over. Whereas the neoliberals broke lots of things, under the facsists, our country satgnated and it will probably take decades for us to recover. We are fucked. Sideways. With a chainsaw. Province: As far as I can tell, they try to do their best despite being fucked over by said far right. City: Right-wing mayor who actually appears do be doing a somewhat decent job. However, whenever he tries to act as a human being in a national or international context, he is being cut short by his party members.

The outlook is not good.

Local is not terrible. They do a decent job. We have decent schools and decent roads. The county police aren’t super terrible. Property taxes aren’t insane like they are in most of the country. State a bit worse. They seem pretty corrupt. They levied a gas tax on us so they could hire tons of new state troopers, something the majority of people in my state do not want, and absolutely were not okay with, because we are already very poor, both the gas tax and the state troopers writing tickets. I think most people in my state see this as pure greed from the nanny state people and a scheme to extort money from the poor. Our state also completely sells us out to the evil federal government constantly unless it’s state rights to own slaves or ruin trans people something. The national government. I hate it honestly, I hate both the Republican and Democratic party. I like the Democrats more but they are both extremely corrupt and they always pass laws that screw the people and they ruin our currency and let criminal corporations get away with just about anything. They also spy on us and our children.
