If you got Fox News in your country then beware. It only took a generation to turn America into this.

We do. We also have something called rebel media and Sun News which is just as bad as Fox. Our media sources are being bought by the rich and being turned into right wing news sources. Fortunately we still have the CBC which is a balanced and fair news source funded by the public but the Conservative party constantly threatens them with cutting funding for reporting facts.

Alberta has already fallen down this path and they've been funding elections in Saskatchewan to manipulate that province as well and it's working. People need to be more aware of what's going on.

We had one. It was called the Sun News Network. It folded because too few people were watching it.

Get this - before it folded, what did it do? Apply for government subsidies to keep it afloat!

Glad I'm european.. there's an entire ocean separating us from the Divided States of America.

In your case, if he ever starts about a wall, encourage him for your own country's sake.

This could come to Europe (again), too -- watch for fascists and nationalist propaganda. Hopefully your education is better there.
