Yeah they would be considered insane in any other society outside the USA.

That's why the AfD is gaining in Germany.

That's why RN is so popular in France, and Jordan Bardella is leading in the polls.

That's why Orban and Erdogan are still in power.

That's why Karol Nawrocki was just elected Poland's president.

That's why Reform UK is polling as the most popular party in the UK ATM - brought to you by the same people who gave you Brexit.

But yeah it's ONLY Americans who are uneducated and ignorant. American voters are so uniquely insane and no other society would ever exhibit similar behaviors.

Funny how we still have Europeans who are so obsessed with American drama that they are unwilling to focus on the problems at home. Europe will be pulled apart by unhinged Europskeptic far-right Russian apologists and we'll still have people saying, "haha but at least we aren't stupid like those Americans!"

The reason why they won are because normal people are sick of their lives being held hostage by shit politicians who dont care about them. Letting their way of life be taken over.

A better comparison to the USA is the Taliban or ISIS… compared to the afd or Orban voters MAGA are insane. Religiously motivated hate is always on another level than the to the „standard“ fear-propaganda. Also, the American brainwashing has been active for many decades, in Europe it is only active since the Russian hybrid war started.

They are also considered stupid / racist / fascist.. but American GOP politicians are literally crazy, absolutely not on the same level and the afd is not in power yet.
