Living like Europeans means living in the evil of socialism and having lower standards of living. It means we need to get paid less, be taxed more, drive very small cars, live in smaller homes, eat out a lot less, cannot afford to buy as much as we do because everything will be much more expensive, have a bad socialist medicine, have a weak military, and appear all our enemies. No thanks we do not want to become Europeans. The current socialist administration in Congress are trying hard to make us be like the EU socialists but at the end we are going to defeat socialism and keep our American way of life.
appear = appease
