I went to Europe after Trump was elected and everyone was oozing smug.

Tbh there is still a major difference between electing a guy like Trump and voting for a populist right-wing party.

Are they they not the same? Trump is also a populist and right wing.

Trump is first and foremost a criminal and a conman. He can barely be called a politician.

[โ€“] crackajack@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump convinced thousands to attack a government building for supposed fraudulent election results. He is as much of a politician as Hitler, Mussolini and other autocrats.

Which were also criminals and conmen. Things are great.
