Will be difficult, because this "nationalism" and "populism" crap is infecting many countries, so finding one not subject to it will be a challenge. I was thinking Australia - but maybe Norway or Denmark would be better. Don't know - haven't really started doing that digging. Have a friend that is moving to Belize. Maybe I'll look into that.

So the midterms are taking a decided shift to the right, and the blue wave, if it manifests, is decidedly muted. There is a good chance that Republicans will pick up two seats in the Senate, which is not a huge surprise, given the number of seats being defended by Dems. The best they could have hoped to win was a tie, and even that was a stretch. The house is more disappointing. Reps have picked up five seats in the last week to add to the "leaning/likely/solid" column, bringing them within 4 seats of the Dems with 29 seats tossed up. First to 218, of course, controls the house. It still generally leans (slightly) to Dems, but not by the wave originally hoped for.
More disconcerting is this poll from CNN, suggesting that the general populace thinks there is a significant chance Trump will win re-election in 2020.
