Damn I didn’t see that news 😭 I’ve been traveling the last week and honestly trying to ignore the news a bit. Not sure how to productively consume it without just feeling upset!

Assuming we are allowed to vote again, which tbf we probably will, it's just that the options will be preselected for us. As it has pretty much always been, but moar so now.

I hear that. Fwiw, a lot has been broken for a very long time - not merely weeks or months or even years but rather decades, so this is more of a reckoning that is catching up to us than it is a total surprise.
Similar to Brexit I would imagine, and many other similar trends around the globe, with similar causes and effects. People got complacent, the wealthy ignored the plight of the poor, who reacted out of desperation, and now... we'll see.

The citizenship test is only in English, so anyone able to vote will be able to understand English.
