CONTEXT FOR #EU EUROPEANS:
Minnesota is known as the state with the largest concentration of Scandinavian migrants. not coincidentally, it is also one of USA’s coldest states. Americans often joke that Minnesota is the whitest state in the Union.
this is important because #MAGA fascists fetishize Scandinavia. they often say their social democracies succeed for a lack of Others, aka The Blacks & sundry POC.
#GOP #Republicans are furious the "whitest" state is defending BIPOC & fighting #ICE

in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •Trump is absolutely loathed here in Europe, including in Scandinavia. (Some recent numbers: yougov.co.uk/international/art… )
I can't find a survey on it, but guessing Trump is also the US president most hated by Europeans. By contrast e.g. Obama used to get huge cheering crowds, and JFK's Berlin speech was legendary.
How popular is Donald Trump in Europe? November 2025

in reply to FediThing • • •Perhaps so. My radical friend Heather told me the story quite before the 'Berlin Game' was published so it was in circulation.
