I read an observation recently by an American VIP that to the members of the European Parliament, if you are not a socialist then you are a fascist! This lacerated division is not unknown in the U.S.
Godspeed to their 'Populist Party'❗ May it, AND ours, be fabulously successful. The biggest threat to that soon success is the looming (nuclear? world?) war. Euro NATO is moving heaven and earth to draw the U.S. into their war with Russia - and Genghis Joe and his guitar player from Foggy Bottom seem receptive to the lure.
The more populism grows - and threatens the globalist hegemony - the more likely war will fall upon us and that prior to any elections.
