I was asleep at the switch when this came out a few days ago. It is *very* worth reading what @pluralistic has to say. What Trump is doing is horrendous but some things might *inadvertently* change in a positive way - more quickly - because he's doing them.

- "Incontinent beliigerence"
- "Strait of Epstein" (though that is possibly not original?)

in reply to ScottMGS • • •It's very evident from here in France that Trump's madness is counter-productive for his own corporate sponsors. The French government has just completed its move of all cloud data off US servers, and has begun switching ALL government computing to Linux. The same is happening bit by bit across the Continent - a German region here, and whole government agency there.
Trump's rabid partisanship for US corporations is destroying their future export markets.
Both governments and the European general public are moving decisively towards electrification and renewables.
Politically, too, what just happened to Orbรกn in Hungary is being re-run all over Europe. The expected advance of the far-right RN in the French local elections failed to materialise, politicians like Nigel Farage in the UK, that associated themselves with Trump, have been checked, both in terms of popularity and media attention.
We see the disaster of far-right government in the US, and we don't like it.
