Dear Americans. You import a sixth of what you buy. From today that will all cost you a whole lot more. This in exchange for a populist promise of more factories, maybe, one day
Just like those in🇬🇧 who voted for a populist promise to reduce immigration
Today, 8 yrs down the line, it's quadrupled

Er, I think *checks notes* never having another war killing 60 million people and reducing countless of its cities to smithereens may have been its primary purpose ? (but I stand to be corrected)

No one will talk about this as it doesn't fit the "Europe turning far right" angle, but Austria's 3 centre parties have this afternoon announced they're on the verge of forming a coalition, excluding Kickl's far-right (who everyone talked about a LOT during the elections)

But a common European defense policy makes no sense. Way better each country doing its own thing
That's what populists aka Putin's puppets have been telling us for a decade - and yes, that includes Brexiteers who've done more to split Europe than anyone
