re: How big of a deal is the US presidential election in Europe?

It’s a pretty big deal. I spend a good amount of time in Germany and France and there is always about 10-15% of the news that’s American. This is much bigger. Depends on the state of the Ukraine war and the ME, though.
The only English speaking channel you can get other than the BBC is CGTN (China Global Television Network) based out of Beijing. That will be 50% US news and wall to wall on the presidential election.

I went to a wedding in Greece in September. Mainly Greeks and Italians with some Tennesseans sprinkled in. There was a British guy there who is an administrator at Cambridge. He was fricking obsessed with our election, and also had one of the worst cases of TDS I've ever seen. No one else really talked about it besides a couple of Italians who seemed to be in favor of Trump.

THIS one is a big deal. Issues from Ukraine, NATO, free speech, any hope the EU had to try and control Elon, I'm sure there's more...

It's a big deal.
The US is the preferred economic market for not just European goods, but most of the world. Everyone wants to sell to us, because we buy tons of everything.
Also, our military is likely larger and more effective than the rest of NATO (at least the European nations) combined. They might chafe a bit about it, but we're still the leader of the Free World.

FWIW I was on a call this morning with a guy that’s in the UK and the first thing he asked me was if I thought Trump would win. His group of friends and family are rooting for him.

Was in Italy in September and was the only topic English speaking Europeans wandered to discuss.

They pay as much attention to it as they did the Federals in nineteen thirty-three Germany

The entire world is watching how this goes down. The globalist are for Harris, and the everyday “World Citzen” is pure maga today. There will be tweets of world celebrations if he wins.
The world was different in Trumps first 3 yrs and he was a well known commodity before he was prez.
Ain’t gonna lie. Homeboy is gonna be carrying the world on his back the next 4 yrs. Hope he’s fully ready for it on day 1. Don’t know if we’ve ever had a human leader on this planet that has the opportunity to effect the entire world like he will. God bless him as he has four years to get shite straight. Don’t know if anyone else could handle this responsibility.

It’s a very big deal because NATA aligned Europe are extensions of the American empire and our vassal states.
A lot of the shite show in the UK is trickle down from US policy and experimentation of what we would like to enact here

Big enough that I've actually seen Europeans make the argument that they should be able to vote in it because it directly impacts them.

How big of a deal is the US presidential election in Europe?

The US is about to elect the guy they helped spy on courtesy of the Five Eyes. I'm thinking their intel agencies are shyting themselves.

They’re worried in Belgium. If He wins, this will catalyze populist movements in Europe, and could spell the downfall of the EU.

Last time my coworkers in Luxembourg were refreshing TD a couple times an hour to see how many times lsuguy84 could post that patriot gif. Not sure if the election matters but lsuguy84 has a following

Or we may make them deal with Russia. We need to stop babying the Europeans. They are becoming a burden to Americans IMO.
After Trump wins tonight we literally have nothing in common with the UK or any of Europe. They removed the strong and savage hundreds of years ago, we are here now.
Screw Europe.

They're frickin' obsessed with our politics. They want us to be like them so bad.
