Well..you seem to forget that many EU countries are on the trumpian / Project 2025 / Heritage Foundation authoritarian course already! Meloni, Orban, etc. and also chancellor Merz’s lobbyist trumpian government and party are inching itself to authoritarian rule…

Totally agree.. this is a global neo-fascist takeover long planned… just that Trump is dement and sick enough to not being able to keep his mouth shut, hence we can openly easily witness the inaction of project 2025, in most other countries these changes go slow under the radar

Trump's America is truly a global threat. So it's insane how much he is being tolerated, humoured or even flattered (that's not how you spell fellated!) by world powers & media. You know those movies in which we're scavenging the ruins of civilisation for tinned food? That's where Trumpism takes us.

I think what we've learnt about the EU over the last few months is that its weak and divided. They caved into Trumps demands on tariffs, they can defend Ukraine. Half of it is slipping into authoritarianism and the other half is on its way to join them.
