First bit of good news in a while. It’s very early but perhaps the #FarRight hold on #Europe may be receding but we’ll have to wait and see. Oh, and thank you #JDVance, (sarc.) your help was very useful.

Hopefully Europe has seen the shit show in the US and realised far-right governments normally go very bad for people.

@monkeyben @mkwadee Not really, Orban isn't alone, there is that witch in Italy, Fico in Slovakia, Finland has lurched right as has Croatia and Slovenia. Austria is a lost cause and France is a worry

@humanhorseshoes @monkeyben I know that much of Europe has lurched to the hard right, including Italy and parts of France too but also, Poland recently ousted the far right party and so there are glimmers of hope. Still need to keep the pressure on, of course.

@mkwadee @monkeyben And the pressure needs to be applied to the aloof and negligent EU who enabled and allowed this to happen
