It is frustrating as EU is going through all of these right after I have some plan to move to europe. But I cannot say it is unexpected. After the semi-reasonable presidentship of Obama, the U.S. faced a surge of alt right nunatics that we see now.
My first trip to Europe I experienced shock at the cultural aparthied I witnessed in big cities. It felt worse than what I’d seen in Anglo multicultural countries (US/UK/AU/NZ) which is not to say it doesn’t happen there but I could taste the racial tension in the air in EU

I guess that is just how politics go?

Seems like society goes through these cycles. Right wing surges until shit goes so far south (ex. World wars), so that the pendulum swings left again.
I’m about to move to the Netherlands next month, I feel you.
It’s good to remember that no matter where you go, idiots and shitheads are pervasive and will always be a portion of any populace.
