people don’t like to acknowledge it, but what happens in the state has a knock on effect here in the EU. It empowers our rightwing fucks to steal the same tactics that worked in the US and start them here
That means we’ll always be behind as those tactics need time to simmer but the news already helps by reporting on what happens over there, reactionaries take that and run with it. They tried that in my country recently with the drag stuff, thankfully their protest failed
yall over there don’t exist in a vacuum, sadly

It’s really not much better. Netherlands is better than Florida, but California is better than Poland. A couple of years ago, a gay man was burned alive in Latvia. Hungry was declared to be a non democracy.
Don’t underestimate the shit hole capacity of Europe.
