  • I do worry though for a sort of dig in in their policies. Similar to Putin before the invasion. A lot of the far right said that “yes, a strong autocrat, masculin, anti-woke, homophobic person like Putin would be the saviour of Europe”. Now some of them, like almost split in the middle, stopped saying “those things are good, look at Putin”, but lost no support after the invasion. With Trump its going to be a similar thing, is my worry. “Yeah, but Trump is a bafoon, but massdeportation, autocracy, and capital’s control over the government are still important, we will just to ot the proper way” is what it will move to. And of course a lot of europeans, even on the far right, will breath a deep sigh of relief that they can call Trump a bafoon. I think, or worry more like it, it will marginally affect the support for the fra-right, if at all, the liberals that has not already joined the far-right or the socdems will try to shoehorn in a comparison to Trump at every argument, and they will get nowhere.
