    As a European, it’s wild to see 2016 just kinda happening all over again. At least that time I too wasn’t too worried since, well, how bad could it be?

    We should all know a lot better than that by now. Glad to be on this side of the great pond for the time being.

      That time being 12 months.

      If Trump does win, Europe can’t count on America to respond properly to it’s NATO promises. At best Trump will drag out processes that can’t be drugout in order for NATO to remain effective. At worst he’ll try and pullout entirely.

        Absolutely agreed! When it rains in the US, it drizzles in the EU, no exceptions. I’m under no delusion of absolute safety here.

          What about the political refugees about to flee America if Trump gets elected? I’m non-binary and not a Christian, if the fascists win I don’t think I’m welcome here anymore.

      When Trump won, my stomach sank, because I knew the 2016 election would go on for another 4 years. We’re now in year 8 and I’m really hoping it ends for good now.

      It’s a good thing Europe has never had any of these right-wing populist leaders, or you’d look be pretty hypocritical.
