They all think like Marx though; that they believe they can “stride through the wreckage a creator”. Some may be able to take advantage of the chaos to create a new tyranny, but at what cost, is the question.
I don’t know what to make of what they always reference as “far right” players over there. It would no more surprise me that some of these folks are normal reasoned people who don’t like what is happening to their nation, than it would if they truly are NAZI rejects.
This is what Merkel was wound up foisting off on the nation with her terrible goals. Folks can’t trust her, and are willing to go elsewhere for relief.
Will they choose well? I don’t know. They shouldn’t have to go this route to get things fixed.
We could have done a lot worse than Trump here too. We lucked out IMO.
