President Donald Trump says that he will double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% for Canada, escalating a trade war with the United States’ northern neighbor.
It was pretty eye-opening when I was in Germany and Austria a couple years ago and heard people parroting the EXACT right-wing taking points I hear in the States.
There are always the 10% idiots, unfortunately AfD somehow got 20% of the vote.
The people who love fascism think it’s their chance now. But they are mistaken. Europe is not giving in to that again.

how do you have so much faith? if you look at the Nazi elections it went something like
~2.5% ⇒ ~5% ⇒ 10% ⇒ 20% ⇒ 30something% ⇒ dictatorship
if you look at AfD it’s following s similar pattern and we’re currently at 20something%
Looking at past history, just one more successful election cycle and the far-right can consolidate and eliminate any democratic opposition
