I was thinking so. In the US those on the political right are typically against homosexuality and those on the political left are typically supportive of it. In Germany it seems to be the opposite based the things in articles in the US considering she is now the ADF's strongest figure. https://web.archive.org/web/2017092...-weidel-afd-germany-far-right-populist-819466
I think that when another member here mentioned NUKES in Cuba and how they weren't tolerated by USA, sort of doesn't register for many in the audience here who are leftists.
They are unable to compare that exact situation with have NATO and NUKES in Ukraine at the doorstep of Russia.
Keep the entertainment going folks!
Have some KoolAid, a little bit of woke ideology and some language re-arrangements in typical leftist fashion.

The Europeans have a grim history of dictatorship, brutality and violence. In the wake of WWII they managed to put that on hold. The U.S. played a crucial role in this process.
Over the last decades several anti democratic groups have developed in many of the European countries. They have been gaining momentum and the experience from WWII and the events leading up to it is slowly becoming blurred.
Europe is again going back to its roots. Which is brutality and violence.
For people living in America it is difficult to understand the full extent of the ramifications of this. We have not had a war on our soil since the war between states. We do no longer comprehend, nor do we remember, the consequences of full blown nationalism, anarchism and extremism. Of course, we have had our share of domestic extremism, but we are unfamiliar with how far this can go, because, up until recently, we have had a system of checks and balances that have been somewhat functional. Not at all perfect, but at least present.
This is not the normal state in Europe. The last 80 years have been the exception. They managed to come up with a system of checks and balances for the continent, but this is in steep decline as of now.
To keep this brief. The question is why our current administration fuels extremism in Europe? Certainly, Europe has made many mistakes in the last 50 years. The mass immigration is one of them. That has also paved the way for extremism. The liberal left is no doubt the reason for why this has been allowed to happen.
The problem is, though, that Europe has a tendency of burning everything down when the going gets tough. My estimation is that inside the next few months or maybe years the Europeans will be tearing each other apart. The consequences of that will be that Russia will gain control over not only the eastern part of Europe but also the western part of it. America will be sidelined and the world will be at risk of being dominated by Russia and China.
If this is Trump’s endgame, well, then he is a major strategic player, but if not, he is nothing but a foreign policies novice. Or like he would have put it himself, a loser.

The end of Cold War and illegal immigration have caused these issues.
In US, as you may know, there's an expression: America is a melting pot.
So, as even some liberals like Fareed Zakaira who work for CNN have said: If you're unable to melt to the American culture, why come here in the first place?
That statement is very wise i think, coming from him because it highlights the issues that liberals allow.
You don't come to a new country so you can turn it into your old country.
No, you adapt and adjust to the rules and the culture of the new country.
If you don't like it go back.
Since many European leaders have been unable to address this, it has led them to this point.
But there's hope in Italy, Poland and elsewhere where people are saying : ENOUGH.

Yes, because you're a confused liberal.
It happens in many other areas of life trust me, including theology.
People like an idea like Progressivism, Liberalism, OSAS etc and find supporting material to support their views.
The current administration is NOT fueling extremism, but the previous administration was fueling extremism by sending millions of dollars through USAID to Serbia's schools so they could turn them gay.
Also, the nations themselves are tired of immigrants not respecting their laws and culture.
This happened in my country too during the Kosovo war where ethnic Albanians came to Albania and it was difficult to call them humans because we opened the doors for them, kept them in our homes, fed them and they were ungrateful and even critical.
Maybe one day you'll wake up. Maybe you won't.
For now, have a cup of coffee.

Janet Yellen already told us we have reached the debt ceiling. There is no longer a way to raise more money from debt.
This doesn't mean the US is about to get foreclosed upon. If this were me or you that is what it would mean, but for huge corporations, fortune 500 companies and something as big as the US government they will always wait until the building collapses of its own accord. Kind of like those barns that farmers stop using but don't tear down.
Already 50% of the world is no longer buying US debt and many of those countries are selling it. This means the "barn" is being abandoned.
Trump is not going to restore the US to the status of being the number one economy and envy of the world. He is fighting an organized retreat. The US ran a $2 trillion dollar deficit in our budget last year. That has to stop immediately. We take in 4.5 trillion in tax revenue and over $4 trillion cannot be touched on our budget, those are obligations that if you don't keep you have declared bankruptcy by violating your fiscal obligations.
That means he must cut everything else. Yes, some things will be graft, or absurd. But there is no way we spent $2 trillion last year on drag queens or bribes. So there is going to be a lot of very painful cuts. But here is the thing, if you cut $2 trillion in government expenditures you will also be cutting tax revenue from those contracts and all the people that were employed that just got laid off. So going forward our tax revenue will fall too, not as fast as our overall expenses, but for every $1 we cut in spending we may cut $0.20 in tax revenue. So in 2026 instead of 4.5 trillion in tax we may only pull in $4 trillion.
Yes, there are things that can be done, but there are no easy choices. For example he could manipulate the gold and silver markets to help pay off debt, but by so doing it will cause havoc to the world's economy and all electronics industries and so will certainly have negative consequences to our exports, imports, and tax revenue. He can go to war but we all know that in reality war is a big loser and there are no winners. He can also go to an austerity budget, but doing that will also cause the world to suffer greatly, not just the US and at a time when everyone is going to war, probably result in a World War.
Those are his options, so when you understand that weigh that against some government agency being cut. Would you rather lose the department of Education or would you rather have WW3 go nuclear? Your choice.

It is concerning that he is more into the firing of people than actually knowing whom he is firing. USAID or NNSA. Does he know the difference?
