@odiii1966 I am sure you know what of you speak. I am a skeptic. Coming from a third world country, I have seen the European perfidy, and don’t trust European governments. Most European white people seem to prefer white people, and appear to treat the lives of dark skinned people as less consequential than those of white folk. Idealism is cynically deployed for unfair advantage— while they exploit nature, it is a sign of mastery over nature. Then, when they have raped the earth in Africa and India and Indonesia, then they preach conservation. The US is still a place where a significant number of institutions and people actually reach out and include me. Other than Dutch, Finnish and Russians, I haven’t found Europeans (the French, the German, English, Spaniard, Bulgarians, Portuguese, etc.) to be too wild about brown folk.

Trump mayn’t be the last of his ilk, nor the worst...
I think he heralds a Trump 2.0, one who learns from Trumps’ failures and whose followers are better organized and more hardcore. Like Aussie cricketers.
The root of MAGA lies in the accelerating change and social dislocation of the undereducated, conservative masses. The threat arises from something fundamentally cataclysmic, and our Brexiting, MAGA brethren are the canaries in the coal mines of time. The changes threaten more than their lives however— the changes threaten the Nation State itself.
Hear me out. The Nation State, with its traditional pillars of strength is being weakened from within—
(1) with free movement of nation-agnostic Capital across national borders,
(2) with really free movement of “elites”— educated folk that can move over 100 miles away for work, and their resultant globalist attitudes (vs. MAGA views or Brexiteer views),
(3) social media freeing public opinion and rendering the power-structure unable to construct opinion (leading to Hong Kong uprising, as also in Bolivia, France, Yellow Vests, etc., etc.)
(4) financial system moving from currency based, market limited, bank-circulated monies, to include non-traditional, crypto- etc. based currency, merging of market with the World Wide Web, and delocalization of banking (think Apple Pay).
... all this is threatening the traditional “nation state”, the essential European project post reformation.
The nation state is threatened from without by MASSIVE global scale challenges... AI, Climate Change, Population Decline, emergence of “G-zero” world order, and Rising risk of nuclear weapon trafficking ...
...problems that’ll force global rules of road, resources, policing, and coordination are here before the nation state was ready.
The globalists think, “let’s remain in the Euro”, “give Hong Kong freedom”, liberate Kashmir, and impeach the MAGA MF.
But the masses aren’t blessed with a globalist consciousness. They are tied to a zip code. They want to keep those from a hundred miles out of their zip code. They want to protect their kids from the internet, their church from the state, keep their daughters virgin, and their guns loaded. Their bigger worry is Christ not suffusing Christmas and the nig***s gettin uppity. Keep the Turks and Poles outta Great Britain. Keep the models busty and the Queen white.
It’s tough when your race, your language, the flag, the neighborhood, and your job, all get threatened in one generation. Lower classes start to equalize, and generational norms breakdown.
That’s when Trump comes. Fails. Then returns. As Trump 2.0. Unless we can address the big cataclysm underway, adapt to it, and help our zip-code tied brethren, we are doomed to Trumpism.
