What do Trump and Trudeau share in common? Dictator Envy
They really should know better, but both former President Trump and current Prime Minister Trudeau have expressed admiration for modern dictatorships. In their own ways Trump and Trudeau have envied the leaders of China and Russia. Trump likes how people sit up straight and pay attention when the leader speaks. He fails to acknowledge that people very much feel forced under intimidation to do so. This isn’t a sign of respect, but a sign of how fearful people are when they know not sitting up straight enough or clapping long and loud enough could mean the end of their career or something worse.
For his part Trudeau is now world famous for expressing his admiration for China’s Communist Dictatorship. In a single sentence, way back in 2013, Canada’s Prime Minister revealed his incredibly childish and ignorant view of history and how the world works. While admiring how fast countries like China are capable of taking on huge tasks, he completely ignores the millions of livelihoods that can be crushed in accomplishing the task, and EVEN IF the task is successful in the end.
There is a difference between Trump and Trudeau. One of the two continues to operate in a way that future authoritarians will be able to admire.

Leaders talk about their “admiration” for dictatorships. It’s a “utopian dream,” says historian Johan Norberg. They think: “if … someone at the top could … point us in a certain direction, everything would go well.” That’s childish. “If government is big enough to give you anything” Norberg explains, “it’s big enough to take everything away from you.”

Traditional comedy shows are now preachy and smug. It’s created a market for something new.
“Leftists have become so…religiously zealous about their beliefs,” says Kyle Mann, Editor-in Chief of @The Babylon Bee. “We find that comedy is funnier when you just put comedy first.”
The Babylon Bee is a Christian conservative comedy group. Their website now gets more views than the Onion. The establishment doesn’t like that. It often “fact checks” their satire. Twitter kicked them off Twitter. I’ll show you comedy the establishment wants you to ignore.Don’t
