@Zergling_man @stux Well, honestly, I like stux, but I think the European political disease is getting to pandemic levels. They are on a continent that has been an unmitigated political disaster for three hundred years with no end in sight and they won't stop poking at our political system, lecturing and scolding.

You know what has never happened in the US or the rest of North America? We have never had to seriously contemplate whether Hitler or Stalin was going to be our leader next year. We've never had a fuel dependence on a country that poses an existential threat to our survival. We don't have thousand-year-old blood feuds in the US, we don't have dictators, we don't have kings, we don't have emperors, we don't have guillotines, we don't have breakaway communist provinces, we don't have peasants getting gunned down in the streets by Napoleon or Hitler or Lenin or Ceausescu or any of the other members of "European Horrors of the Industrial Era" club. So please, Europe, tell us what you think we should do with Trump and guns and disease control and all the other political issues. Where does a continent that has produced a constant stream of fuckups get the idea that it has anything to say about politics to any English-speaking country? Where do they get the arrogance? A European says "We need to vote them out!" and they expect what? We should check them into the Betty Ford clinic, see if they make more sense once they've dried out for a few weeks.

The Dutch royal family is a pack of psychopathic eugenicists and stux is like the third consecutive Dutch person to tut-tut as if it's a foregone conclusion that the country that surrendered to Hitler in five days, the country where you can get legal euthanasia at the age of 12? This is the problem Americans have, the problem the entire Anglosphere has: we keep making the mistake of assuming that most places are civilized, so we let Europe connect to the ARPAnet and this was a mistake.
