  • Where have we failed?

    You know how Europe is mostly ethnically homogeneous? Well thanks to European and American escapades into the Middle East they’re becoming less ethnically homogeneous, and because of that xenophobic right wing rhetoric works on them a lot more than Americans. Add the post-covid economy and other legitimate issues where those immigrants can be scapegoated and Europeans welcome far right parties with open arms, because unlike Americans they’re not inoculated against these ideas.

    Someone might point to the result of this election, to which I say there’s a reason people are angry at the DNC and it’s because they could’ve won if they were actually trying. It’s completely different from Europe where young people are shifting right.

    Anyway what I wanna say is that this outcome was basically inevitable because in a parliamentary system like in most European countries the government will be too moderate to stop it.
