  Have you looked at European politics, recently? As always they’re behind what the US does but they sure are trying, we have fascists (and not a small number) in the parliament here in Germany.

    They have 20~25% in Belgium so far. Let’s hope Trump sufficiently shows these voters that fascism isn’t all that great.

      The AfD voters aren’t persuaded in the slightest.

  Bruh it’s hard enough for Chinese emigrants to seek asylum, you have to “prove” that you are actually in danger. An American seeking Asylum anywhere in Canada, Australia, or Europe is gonna get laughed at by the immigration authorities, they still view the US as a democracy and a “safe country”.

  Europe isn’t safe from climate collapse and resource depletion. Or facism/authoritarianism. Or the effects of the upcoming ww3.

  That doesn’t sound very reassuring.
