[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 692625, member: 1963"] Too soon to tell. What it does show, is that the beliefs of the Trump-ites are not isolated to the U.S. Neo-fascist politicians are leading in polls in most countries in the EU. In a way, it all started with Angela Merkel of Germany, who allowed in a flood of refugees without advanced preparation. We have all seen how disorganized handling of the ME refugees had a huge impact on the countries who took them in, and on the refugees themselves, many of whom died making the sea crossings, and many of whom are dying in refugee camps of disease and starvation. Many more are being cruelly treated in detention facilities. Europe isn't that different from the US. They have the same worries, hopes, and fears that we Americans do. And looking at what was going on in the EU, combined with the right-wing media's twisting of much of the reporting Americans see, led a group of people already ignorant and bigoted in the US, to become ripe for a lead who would promise them riches and safety, and protection from the "bad people" who would slay them, despoil their women, and rape and murder their daughters and sons. If you can stomach it, look up some English transcripts of Hitler's speeches made during the late 30's. You will find that not a whole helluva lot has changed. [/QUOTE]
