From Tokyo to Turin to LA, Trump’s policies loom over May Day marches
By YURI KAGEYAMA and THOMAS ADAMSON, May 1, 2025
PARIS (AP) — "French union leaders condemned the “#Trumpization” of world politics, while in Italy, #MayDay protesters paraded a puppet of the American president through the streets of Turin.
"Across continents, tens of thousands turned out for Thursday’s rallies marking International Workers’ Day, many citing President Donald Trump’s agenda — from aggressive tariffs spurring fears of global economic turmoil to immigration crackdowns — as a central concern.
"In the United States, organizers said this year’s protests aimed to push back against efforts to roll back protections for immigrants, federal workers and diversity initiatives.
"In #Germany, union leaders warned that extended workdays and rising #AntiImmigrant sentiment were dismantling labor protections. And in Bern, #Switzerland, thousands marched behind banners denouncing #fascism and war — part of a wider backlash against the global surge of #HardRight politics.
"In #Taiwan, President Lai Ching-te referenced new U.S. tariffs under Trump as he promoted a proposed spending bill aimed at stabilizing the job market and supporting livelihoods. In the #Philippines, protest leader Mong Palatino warned that 'tariff wars and policies of Trump' threatened local industries.
"In #Japan, Trump’s image loomed over the day quite literally, as a truck in the Tokyo march carried a doll made to resemble him. There, participants’ demands ranged from higher wages and gender equality to health care, disaster relief, a ceasefire in #Gaza and an end to #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine.
" 'For our children to be able to live with hope, the rights of #workers must be recognized,' said Junko Kuramochi, a member of a mothers’ group in Tokyo."
How do we break this apocalyptic [end-times #fascism] fever? First, we help each other face the depth of the depravity that has gripped the #hardright in all of our countries. We are up against an ideology that has given up on liberal #democracy, on the livability of our shared world – on its beauty, people, our children, on other species. The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world, its human and non-human inhabitants.

The #hardright has a problem. If a politican wins an election with promises to cut immigration, he or she will have to find #pronatalist policies that actually work or run the risk of crashing the pensions system. Please see my thoughts in the free weekly essay on my personal blog. https://sharpenyouraxe.substack.com/p/how-can-we-find-pro-natalist-policies
Thomas Zimmer, commenting on the global rise of the hard right:
"If democracy falls, it is not because those who want to abolish it are so smart and brilliant. They are not cunning geniuses or irresistibly magnetic political superpowers. Resistance against those people will never be futile. They are, in so many ways, the worst."

I'm with you & may add some thoughts at the end.
On this particular note, let's keep in mind that #Christianity is amorphous. Each branch has had its own set of bad acts which I won't delve into exhaustively here.
The #hardright #evangelical #christianationlism that you call out is certainly a #ClearAndPresentDanger however the #CatholicChurch under the progressive #PopeFrancis has no influence over them. They can talk but will the evangelicals listen?

"Millions of #voters voted for Trump at the top of the ticket and #Democrats down-ballot to check his unpopular agenda. It would be a mistake to think Trump has a mandate to remake society in a #hardright, socially conservative image.

"Across the west, the cordon sanitaire between the centre-right and what lies beyond has collapsed: a Trump victory will embolden Europe’s surging far-right movements. The liberal order crumbles before us: we have barely begun to contemplate what lies beyond it."

"In 2021, a leading Canadian political scientist and scholar of violent conflict warned that the weakening of US democratic institutions over decades could lead to the whole system’s collapse by 2025, leading to extreme violent instability and a rightwing tyranny prevailing by 2030. A decade ago, such prophecies would have seemed outlandish, deranged even."

"In an era when the rise of rightwing nationalism has coincided with declining trust in mainstream politics, this is an outcome to celebrate. ... A high turnout across France led to millions of voters burying very real differences to join forces against it. They did so in order to see off a party whose xenophobic core is at odds with republican values of equality and inclusion."
