As a German I’m very familiar with the Gelbhaar case actually and it doesn’t have the slightest thing to do with centrism. It actually ended with the person pushing the fake accusations having to leave the party, but you knew that already.

I’ll look into the others when I’m home later.

Can you name one person that got cancelled for taking a centrist stance?

As a centrist, I don’t see the radical left being courted by the president, so I think your comment is presenting a bit of a false equivalence, champ.

What the fuck are you on about, she is literally a christofascist sect member that wants to turn the USA into a real world enactment of The Handmaids Tale.

ACB is not a liberal.

As a European I’ve accepted the fact that the US I knew is gone and we will probably be full-blown enemies soon.

I don’t think that will help much when the nation turns fascist though.

Do you actually know how much it was worth though?

How much was his dads gemstone mining business worth?

It’s more like a dump’n’pump I guess.

This is literally the opposite of a pump and dump scheme. Trump is intentionally tanking the market to enrich himself and his group of oligarch cronies that sold at the highest point and will buy back into the market before he announces the tariffs gone.

Insider trading while manipulating the market as a whole. Open corruption at the highest level.

His stance on Ukraine and the European Union is the silver lining for me with the CDU win tbh. Things might actually improve on these topics over Olaf Scholz.

Thank you, I’m aware they’re fascists but it seems I was a bit misinformed about their stance on Ukraine and Russia.

I think you’re underestimating how much hatred and disdain this administration is stewing in Europe. This is not something that can be fixed if a “normal” person comes into office in four years. IF there’s even going to be an open election then.

What’s happening right now has already done generational damage to transatlantic diplomacy. And we’re barely a month in.

Maybe. I’m not sure. The Republican Party as a whole has turned fascist, it’s not just Trump and Vance.

Pretty much yeah.

Perfect response, enjoy your fall of Rome era.

I hope we can greatly strengthen our relationship between the EU and Canada.

Unfortunately a majority of Americans still believe that the cancer can be reasoned with.

The key to understanding what’s happening right now is (imo):

• Trump has a deep admiration for dictators, going back decades. This is well documented. Putin is a role model for the way he wants to govern (and see himself, actually).

• Zelensky not complying with Trumps extortion to find dirt on Hunter Biden led to his first impeachment. Trump is seeking revenge for that. In fact he said publicly that he would seek revenge on all the people that wronged him (in his mind at least). He is out to punish his enemies and Zelensky is high on that list.

Europe needs to realize that in the span of little over one month, the US turned from its most important ally to a hostile nation - and potentially an enemy.
