As a European, I look at America and wonder why people are voting for Trump. Let's have a discussion on why (lemmy.world)

Which kind of European?

Meloni, Le Pen, Wilders, and Germany's AfD, the new ~~Czech~~ Slovak government are all using the same rhetoric.

The EU Parliament has been waging its own trade war in Europe and Europe's equivalent of a border wall is called Frontex and is there to stop people from claiming their legal right to asylum.

I'd suggest rephrasing the question to be less inflammatory and more self aware.

but to answer your question as it's the same for all listed examples...

racism and economic anxiety pepeturated by the ruling class to keep us fighting each other instead of realizing that a handful of billionaires own everything and contribute nothing.

Adding Austria as of 29 September 2024

Which new Czech government are you talking about? The current government is serving since December '21 and elections will be next year. Also, unlike Le Pen, AfD or Trump this government has been staunch supporter of Ukraine.

Have you confused Czechia with Slovakia?

Yes. I have confused Slovakia with Czechia and I apologize for that. I have corrected it, but this was 100% my mistake. I'm severely jet lagged and definitely know the difference under normal circumstances. Thanks for correcting my accidental misinformation.
