I explicitly accused the OP of lecturing, and I did that based on the fact that he was rather judging than talking about differences. I mean, how did you even weasel into the picture in the first place? You could call Europe what you want and I couldn't be mad at you.
Yeah well, I'd be the last person to make a fuzz about that one, right. It's not really just about all that though, everyone's got their blind spots, that's not so specific to the US. In the end, I just don't like it when Europeans are accused of flocking to authoritarian figures, based on how guys that train Hitler dogs are treated. There's little I can do, I just can think "that's a bit ridiculous, and also look who's talking, the guys that went for Trump." What's next, you slam us for nepotism? :)
No I know you didn’t accuse me of lecturing. I just wanted to reinforce that nobody should be lecturing if that’s what they were doing. Probably reads differently than it sounded in my head.
