      EU is having a moment because their Trumper types gained a lot of seats. They can’t pretend it’s just an American problem anymore.

        I’m actually hopeful that America had a brush with death and may shy away from that noise this time. We’ve got about 30% of the population still holding that loaded gun to our heads, but I think the rest of us understand what happens if we let them pull the trigger. Time will tell.

          I hope the rest of us understand that Treason Flag Alito and Corrupt Clarence are on a team considering whether or not to hand the president a Long Knife.

        For the Americans: it’s still not nearly as bad as in the US, but we may be slowly getting there.

          Is yours, at least, not as obviously stupid and obviously bad?

          Like are they at least able to sound reasonably intelligent? Because that’s what gets me about ours. Fuckin Trump basically has a giant red arrow pointing from space that says “This fucker is evil and stupid” but people worship him anyway?

          It goes from “this is a critical problem” to “this is a critical problem and extremely embarrassing too.”

            For real. The Nazis at least had matching uniforms. Our fascists can’t even buy the same brand of khakis and white polos. Talk about history repeating as a farce…

        Haha, what?

        We literally predicted Trump before you voted for him, because of the right-wing populism that caused Brexit.

          Nothing about “rising fascism is not unique to the US” has any relation to any perceived superiority.

          We get it though, you have some sort of inferiority complex but you don’t gotta project onto the entire fuckin country

      The social contract is null and void if it means a European ever has to see a Muslim person on the street.

        Part of the reason the right is doing so well is this sort of hyperbole from the left, we need to work on convincing people rather than drive them further into the arms of the right
