Between Trump and Brexit those are the lowest bars to clear, but still, you did better than the worst possible thing, which we couldn't. So you've earned your smugness I guess!

It's like being impressed that an adult has managed to not poo poo themselves. Not impressive, but when two other grown adults have just sprayed runny poo poo all over the place, you're happy that the mess isn't getting worse.

That's because the first sentiment is and always has been a code for the second, you're not seeing an escalation, you're seeing an unmasking.

Trump's rhetoric was much more extreme than Le Pen's, but since he is a senile mentally handicapped manchild and nobody takes anything he says serious it wasn't such a big issue.

Yeah not saying Trump is fundamentally different, but here in the Netherlands we have Wilders screaming "ISLAMIZATION" for the past 12 years or so to the point where I can't take anything he says seriously. When Trump talks about muslims it's usually about stopping terrorist threats as far as I know, not pretending a tiny minority with barely any political influence is going to turn an entire country into a sharia state. I see similar sentiments all over Europe.

Calling Europe a US vassal state is straight from the Russian propaganda handbook.

Fear of islamization is one of the biggest talking points of the alt-right. Just visit some dumpsterfire like /pol/ or the_donald to get a picture. A substantial part of the alt right and conservative fringe seriously, totally, absolutely believes that multiple cities in the US have already enacted sharia law.

Clearwater, Florida is controlled almost entirely from top to bottom by scientology (including the police department) but you really don't hear much about that in the whole Sharia Law conversation.

Nah it's not, Europe doesn't pay ducats to the US goverment and the US can't call any levies(as seen during the Iraq war). It also can't revoke titles and European leaders can't be appointed to the presidential council. Furthermore, crown laws of the US don't apply to Europe. :goonsay:
