I believe that having an integrated global community (not just 'the west') is much better for humanity than regional isolationism.

But I don't blame any country for disassociating with the US. Not just because Trump is our president, but more so that we elected him, twice.

Half of Europeans vote right. Just like the US.

This is about privacy and annoying ads everywhere. Europeans hate Google for the same reasons we do. Is that so hard to believe?

People everywhere want the same things you do.

Huh. I haven't seen that to be the case. But I suppose you can put whatever you like in arrow brackets and it might execute in some people's brains like it does in the browser.

Those watching can see that the oligarchs, the economic platform, and the propaganda delivery system are in position to groom the selected voter base for the long term.

The opposition to this open corruption and mayhem (gerrymandering, voter bribery) is only leading nationally by ... 8 points.
