Nah, it’s just more visible. It’s not that much of a sea change. And it’s ridiculously naive to pretend that the major countries in Europe don’t have their own mechanisms to regularly and effectively bypass any democratic inconveniences when necessary. They regularly push through things that no constituent would ever want or vote for.

Meanwhile the President sits in the Oval Office and says, in a televised interview, with absolutely no shame, that all of his kids and family are insider trading, all the time.

Trump just dropped the part of his lawsuit against the BBC where he claimed it damaged his business because he would have to expose what his business is.

The Trump regime a way more corrupt than anything currently seen in Europe.

He currently attempting to steal Greenland so he can strip it of mineral assets for fucks sack.

No politician in Europe is starting wars for personal gain.

Only Trump and Putin.

You're right, just the other day our MP lined his pockets to the tune of a couple of billion, pumped his shitcoin, tipped off his friends about about the stock market movements he was going to cause, sent a couple of good deals to his kids and threatened war on a couple of countries just to please his buddies. And that's just the last couple of months... /s
