Europe as an Example

If this had been Europe, Trump would have resigned Wednesday.

As long as people can’t afford nice things on a decent salary people will flip flop their votes for the rest of time.

We live in arguably the most self sustainable Country on the planet yet the price to live here is out of fukin control.

Something has to give and it won’t be pretty.

They will control the armed forces soon. And now control most national guard and police forces.

We see what’s happening there.

I think there’s a fundamental flaw in this otherwise reasonable and accurate sentiment.

Only those who actively pay attention see what’s happening in Europe. Much of the American public remains perfectly willing to accept the narrative that European society is superior to our own and should serve as a model for the United States.

I suspect most Americans have little idea that France has been gripped by unrest for weeks, economic stagnation has become entrenched across much of Europe, and countries like France devote roughly 30% of their GDP to social spending. Yet even that extraordinary expenditure has failed to resolve deepening social tensions, particularly those surrounding mass immigration, failed integration, and segments of the immigrant population that openly reject the values and national identity of their host countries.

The problem isn’t simply what’s happening in Europe. It’s how little Americans understand about it—and how eagerly some would have us follow the same path.
