Local government is great but we're a pretty small township.
National government is fucked and can go fuck itself. Packed full of incompetent morons, sycophants, opportunists, grifters, and brainworms, and riddled with hate - racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, etc. It's a smorgasbord of vile shitheads who never should've gotten anywhere near this much power.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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.

Ah, is it that country I heard about where the parliament keep dismissing the cabinet / no confidence votes?

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

As far as I can tell the USA, Britain,
Germany, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Australia and China are fucked. Fascism, nationalism, corporate capitalism, segregation, genocide, history erasure, political extremism and regression.. Looking pretty fucking bleak. I'd include Palestine but it was formatted by Britain and replaced with Israel, and it doesn't technically exist like it used to.Germany is totally fucked.

I was wrong about Germany, the main issue over there is the AfD party, but it seems the public are vehemently opposed to them. Denmark, however, is the current presidential leader of the EU, and is speedrunning Chat Control before their term ends. Normally these kinds of votes must be unanimous, but it wasn't -- yet Denmark is continuing to implement it.
You weren't wrong about Germany.

I'm really angry with the British government right now. In some ways they're worse than the Tories, because at least with them you knew where you stood. With Starmer he keeps trying to outdo the far right, which leads to them adopting even further right policies, and him adopting them and so on. The cracking down on freedom of speech is genuinely scary, whether it be through the online safety act or abusing terrorism legislation to proscribe direct action groups. They need to fix the housing and healthcare crises urgently, but they're tinkering at the seams while the far right are on the cusp of taking power in 2029.
On the local level, I don't like our elected assembly much either, and I feel like all they do is pose for photoshoots and blame all their mistakes on the government in London.
And because people don't like Starmer they're voting further right. Make it make sense.

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).

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.

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).

Local government is somewhat contentious, but it seems like it's moving in the right direction.
National government does not.

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.

Isn't our red regime still a minority by, like, one?
And we don't pick for perfection; we pick to get the best of who can win, and that's not orange today.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
