Any reasonable politically-astute observer in Europe would be aware of what a flaming bag of shit donald trump is. They would also be aware that his administration is beyond hope as a collection of corrupt incompetents and power hungry substance abusers.
Simply put, don’t believe the hype that this is representative of more than the repugnant, congealed mass of demented republicans who run power politics with a bottomless pit of money and avarice.
Those republicans represent a real desire for political change amongst a section of the ruling class (immensely wealthy business owners like Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc) getting rid of the Republicans in power won't fix the reason they came into power in the first place. The fascist current in America is a continuity of American political trajectory for the past few decades and functions as a response to the failures of neoliberalism. It represents a failure of economic systems not corrupt individuals with bad ideals and you simply can't fix that by putting someone else in charge, you can only delay it at best. Systemic problems require systemic solutions.
