Filipino here, I’m curious how american politics got this, for lack of a better word, wild?
don’t get me wrong, my country is far from better, but over here, the closest we have to MTG is probably Cynthia Villar or some other overly-vocal conservative oligarch in the senate, but they’d never pull stunts like this over here.
I live in the Philippines where gas is still primarily used for cooking. I think the problem here is a mix of a lack of government support thanks to gas company lobbying and the lack of affordable electric heating.
new user here, is installing more than one lemmy client necessary?
they’ve been in power in one way or another since the 50s. mainstream left-wing politics in this country never really had a chance at any point since we became independent. Going back to the McCarthy days of Magsaysay in the 50s, to Martial Law under Marcos of the 70s, to the Post-Arroyo right-wing dominated politics we have today(23 out of the 24 senate seats are currently held by the conservative government, the House of Representatives isn’t any better). Some families have been in power in their regions for centuries.
arguably the most leftist government we had was the post-EDSA C. Aquino Government, and even that was led by someone who was arguably part of the aristocracy, and even then her government suffered around 9 loyalist coups in 6 years until her government eventually shifted to the right.
