    Russian agent in White House put tariff on Aluminum from neighboring very hostile country Canada, and plans to get it very cool and very legal from Russia instead.
    The Russian agent has allegedly been identified, but Americans have decided it’s OK to have Russian agents in the White House now.

      What really concerns me, is that even here in Germany i hear people saying “eh, Trump is ok, at least he’s doing something”.

      It’s not only a few that think like this and it’s always the same people that are anti vaccine, anti trans rights, anti woke.

      I don’t like this timeline anymore, but the reset button isn’t working…

        It was pretty eye-opening when I was in Germany and Austria a couple years ago and heard people parroting the EXACT right-wing taking points I hear in the States.

          There are always the 10% idiots, unfortunately AfD somehow got 20% of the vote.
          The people who love fascism think it’s their chance now. But they are mistaken. Europe is not giving in to that again.

            how do you have so much faith? if you look at the Nazi elections it went something like

            ~2.5% ⇒ ~5% ⇒ 10% ⇒ 20% ⇒ 30something% ⇒ dictatorship

            if you look at AfD it’s following s similar pattern and we’re currently at 20something%

            Looking at past history, just one more successful election cycle and the far-right can consolidate and eliminate any democratic opposition

      As an american, a slight correction.

      Read Next: about 40% of Americans puzzled about why nobody likes them anymore. Another 40% puzzled about why anyone still likes them. 20% didn’t understand the question, and refused to elaborate.
