    How long will liberal republicanism hold?

    No, anti-immigrant policies are not Nazi. Trying to destroy checks and balances in the government, eliminating free press up to the imprisonment of opposition, and ignoring the judiciary is. Switzerland is a nice little country, and I don't worry about them. Look at Hungary, Poland and...

    Fair enough... and as I said, I hope you're right. And no, it's not the nationalism and anti-immigrant stance of these parties in Europe that worries me. It's the fact they're dominated by people who don't respect the system. In Poland and Hungary, they have been elected already, and they...

    Look, you do know the basic values our Western types of government are founded upon, do you?

    Well perhaps you don't know much about these "anti immigrant" parties in Europe, but I do. Believe me, within weeks of them in office, checks and balances and free press will be gone.

    No, being a Nazi makes you a Nazi. Simple as that.

    European Union president trashes Trump as 'threat' [W:49]

    Well, Trump announced NATO is "obsolete", so what are we to guess? My guess is he wants to divide Europe with Putin in a new kind of "Hitler-Stalin Pact". Trump also trashed the EU: He praised Brexit and nationalistic and neo-fascist movements all across Europe. What do you expect the EU to...

    My problem is, I just don't feel like having to live in a ****ing Nazi world dominated by Nazi scum and their ****ing Nazi policies. Because, you know, I actually like classically liberal values and government. Yeah, that's the core of my problem. If you appreciate this ****ing authoritarian...

    Well, my main concern is that Trump questions NATO, and with it, 70 years of American foreign policy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/21/donald-trump-reveals-foreign-policy-team-in-meeting-with-the-washington-post/...

    Your word in God's ear. I can just pray you're right.

    How long will liberal republicanism hold?

    So what's left for us, except shouting "Sieg Heil"? Not much, I guess, according to your analysis.

    How long will liberal republicanism hold?

    Yeah, I hope we'll get through this cycle without too much damage. If NATO collapses/is given up? We might not stand long enough to witness the pendulum swing back, I'm afraid. I hope Trump is not crazy enough to give up NATO, and we Europeans are not crazy enough to vote fascists into our...

    How long will liberal republicanism hold?

    Liberal republicanism is under attack in the West. Various far-right forces are emerging that have the goal of replacing liberal republicanism with fascist right-wing dictatorship. In America, President Bannon, eh, Trump puts an end to 200 years of liberal political tradition. In Europe...
