Summary

European far-right leaders celebrated Donald Trump’s election victory, seeing him as an ally who shares their anti-immigration and authoritarian views.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a close Trump associate, promised “big plans” in partnership with the U.S. leader, likely involving hardline stances on immigration and cultural issues.

Leaders like Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Germany’s AfD also voiced support, aligning with Trump’s opposition to “woke” and progressive values.

Experts warn this alliance could embolden right-wing policies across Europe, with Orbán potentially acting as a key link between Trump and Europe’s far-right bloc.

      That’s a nice fantasy, fascists being incapable of reading and therefore incapable of invading other countries and killing people.

      Where do you think the American fascists came from?

      He used the Jim Crow south as his model for Germany, and after the war, black GIs came back from liberating Europe to be lynched by Southern law enforcement.

      They are our fascists, through and through, always have been.

      I think you didn’t understand the question yourself.

        I don’t know how to help you. You changed the conditions of the hypothetical and are now puffing your chest out, defending your conclusions from it.

        Just drop another line about your CV and peace out.
