America seems to have lost its mind.

People like Tucker Carlson, like MTG don’t deserve redemption or respect.
They were instrumental in driving the masses into a misogynistic and bigoted frenzy lurching this country towards fascism and creating vast social divides.
As Trump’s approval craters, they don’t get to wash that stain.
So, following on from the great news regarding Magyar’s victory in Hungary 🇭🇺, we have a new trojan horse in power in Bulgaria 🇧🇬, with major concerns about the rise of far-right candidates in France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪 and here in the UK 🇬🇧.

Responsible leaders must be honest with their societies.
Russia is already waging a war against Europe by systematically targeting civilian environment - the systems that enable everyday life. These attacks take concrete forms:⤵️
You can't be a European patriot and side with the people trying to burn Europe down.
The era of "both sides" is over.
Politicians working for our enemies need to be treated like the threat they are.
