        Agreed but they’ll need out of this wave of fascism first.

        I sincerely hope the whole world turns against the US-Russian axis of fascism. But y’all will have to do some doing to get there.

        I sincerely hope this is the world’s last go around with fascism but I’m not so delusional as to think it the case. But I am delusional enough to think maybe someday it will be. Maybe someday we’ll win.

          Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. As long as European institutions remain strong it can correct for bad temporaryleadership, as soon as you weaken these institutions the correction becomes harder and more expensive.
