Dus nu heb ik het hier neergezet: reportersonline.nl/trumps-talen...
Dit moeten ze echt plaatsen, steengoede reactie op belachelijk stuk in de VK. Dat ik, door de titel, bewust had overgeslagen.

Yes I am hoping you are able to fight back, because it is really a fascist regime. I am sorry you have to live in this now and hope justice will follow. They are def. mostly targeting non-white for sure. However, also white EU allies are bashed - threathened, especially when not worshipping the king

Unfortunately in the Netherlands we have a very short-sighted right wing government. A silver lining is that the popularity of the biggest party (PVV Geert Wilders) is rapidly decreasing due to their incompetence and Trump flirting. Hopefully the coalition "falls" soon and we can have new elections

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
