The difference is that Europe should be more capable of resisting America. We’ll see if that actually happens but given how things have gone before when the EU went after American companies I don’t think they’ll budge easily.

I think some people never learn, especially the people that have their heads so far up their own asses that they only hear the FOX propaganda shouting.

It’s truly crazy how much of the more rural parts of the US are basically a third world country

Unless they change the rules, Trump cannot have another term. I’d honestly be surprised if he survives all the way until 2028 anyway, he’s already ancient and pretty unhealthy. Add to that that people might try and take matters into their own hands and you get a pretty dangerous mix. I’m not sure if JD stepping in would be better though, he seems even crazier and definitely more insidious than the orange man.

As a Dutch person we’d happily welcome the more sensible Americans over here 🙂. I can’t guarantee our government wouldn’t try to stop a mass migration wave given their anti-immigrant policies though.

It’s funny, my partner and I were actually talking about moving to the US for a while to spend more time with my American in-laws but I think that’ll be out of the window for the next four years.

I’d say most north eastern EU countries (Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, most of Scandinavia) is safe right now. The Netherlands (where I live) has been right-leaning for a while now and even though it got worse this past election the focus is mainly on nationallism and anti-immigrant policies at the moment.

Is there any chance that shit was rigged this time around? As an outsider it’s honestly just crazy to me that the difference can be so huge, almost unimaginable.

But but… You can only have inflation when the dems are in charge right? Just look at Biden, he caused SO much inflation last time /s

It depends on the country you’re in I guess but I would say that generally speaking the EU right wing parties are a bit less extreme than Trump appears to be going to be this time around. I don’t know of any EU countries where they are planning to get rid of all immigrants among other things. Tbh, the person you can compare Trump to most is Hitler. And he has compared himself to Hitler too, which makes it even more crazy.
