I've had a few right-wingers tell me that, in fact, the Nazis were leftists. In person too, not a YouTube comment or whatever. A certain percentage of people seem to have no idea what left-wing even means, beyond [things I don't like] = left-wing, apparently.

Welcome to the struggle... you cannot win, just hope to do a little better each time.

Wait until you try to tell them the difference between democratic socialism and Nazi's.

It might have driven the US to distance themselves, but a franco-prussian alliance has to terrify the tsarist regime

Guys I think the G7 +1 went really well, but I'm afraid were going to run out of autocracies willing to throw elaborate galas to hype Trump up before his fiuture international obligations. Just think of how much worse it could have gone if he didn't get his ego inflating positive reinforcement first.

Some countries were close, Netherlands and France, and I think "the people" did pay some attention to what happens in the states and Britain.

Macron beat Le Pen 66-34. Geert Wilders won 13% of the vote and 20 out of the 150 available seats. Neither of these is anywhere near "close".

Note that Geert Wilders had more votes 2 elections ago and was even in a minority coalition cabinet at the time. Drama happened, he pulled the plug and now no political party wants to work with him.

Although Dutch politics has shifted more to the right since then it has also splintered to the point where making a majority coalition is practically impossible at the moment.

Welp US goons, it's been fun knowing you, but I guess we have to sever contact now. Your countries gross incompetence and corruption has become a bit to toxic.

Seriously though, Donald J Trump!? What where you even thinking? That decision reflects badly on every single one of you. Even the ones who didn't vote for him. In the eyes of foreign nations the average American is an idiot who voted a national embarrassment into the highest office to represent you. Whenever Trump does something stupid or corrupt on the international stage, you do too.

Plenty of people don't like Merkel (mostly because they think that she is to lenient on immigration and refugees. Or you know, because she's a woman.) But nobody can call her incompetent or unprofessional. When she is on an international visit, I never feel like she throws a bad shade on m country. Contrary to that, Trump throws a bad shade on the western civilization in general.

I wonder how the people in Cattanooga feel about his proposal to stop German cars in the USA. He probably doesn't even know that VW exists there.
And he still hasn't understood what a trade deficit is. We export stuff, America imports stuff. That doesn't mean that the US just pays Germany money. It means that you end up with product of the same worth instead. Nobody around here wants to buy American products, because most of them are either overpriced, or junk. So the only way to "balance" the deficit would be to add a tariff on German products, which would just lower the trade in general. That's literally economy 101.

There are plenty of good reasons to not like Merkel. She is definitely not incompetent or unprofessional though.

If you meet an American the chances are over 50% that he either voted for Trump or didn't care enough to vote against him. That's all we think of when we meet one of your kind.

white and gold.

I had a dream that I was at the White House for a private dinner and brought a dining chair from my house. Jared was being a dick and drawing on it in crayon, and so I yelled at him and made him clean it up. He was very submissive. Ivanka was easy to manipulate into turning against him, just by yelling. Melania was nice. I never met Donald, but maybe in this dream I was Donald. Anyway, I was really proud of how much of a pushover most of the family was, and I felt bad for Melania. I was telling everyone back home about it.

That is all.

Mathematically it's correct.

Of course, the numbers change if you look at the subset of Americans who are likely to have encounters with people from other countries.
