      I hope they‘re at least speed running their demise quickly enough for the rest of Europe to take notice and finally wake the hell up. The normalization of the dumbest populist rhetorics has to stop and we have to revert course before this really becomes the century of humiliation for the continent. Democracy and Europe as we know it can‘t coexist with neo nazis and the overly rich. We have to make a decision quick before it‘s decided for us.
