As an American, my perception was that Europe was way better inoculated against this kind of bullshit. Crazy to see a comment thread that could have easily been about our last few elections across the pond.

For a very long time political scientists used to say that America was inoculated against this "very European" political disease.

This isn't new and it defined the 20th century for much of Europe. The US is just properly discovering it for the first time and reexporting it back across the pond.

It’s like nobody reads fucking history anymore. “Europe inoculated against this”? Seriously some dumb shit I’ve read today.
