      'Cos it’s been turning (far-)right as well in the last few years.

        Which is why Europeans shouldn’t be too eager to laugh about the US being a fascist hellhole. It could happen there again if they’re not vigilant.

          Dude, I keep telling my possibly AfD voting cousin we’re just a few years behind the US if things continue as they do. Our politicians aren’t better people, they’re just sneakier for now.

          No one is laughing… We’re horrified how the people who have been screaming “freedom” and being obnoxious about how much more free they are than anyone else in the entire universe, seem to love getting enslaved while being obnoxious about how cool it is to be enslaved.

          Europe has its problems. We’ve had them for generations, and right now they’re getting worse. But at least we have a culture of fighting back, something americans don’t.

            Talk is cheap. Prove it in the coming years. I really hope you’re right, because I want SOMEWHERE to not be either a coporate fascist hellholle or a collapsed country in the future…
