The only upside of Trump's presidency is that it is a stark warning to other democracies around the world that it could very well happen to them also soon, and they'd better get their shit together before it does.

Hungary should have been a warning sign, but the US is a lot more visible and a lot more frightening when it falls into this trap.

In Germany we're having an election this month and I unfortunately don't feel much of that spirit. The far right populists are more or less at an all time high and the conservatives are the strongest party in the race.

Additionally, the conservatives are openly and explicitly imitating Trump's antics. "On my first day as chancellor I will..." - No you won't, that's not how it works here.
