      Europe is a totally different continent with a wider range of cultures between countries.

      I think in the US given the amount of people who have quietly supported recent actions indicates a lot of people felt not heard on the matter and now there is this crazy result.

      Again I’m not saying I support this just that if there is not fair and balanced talk on migration, there is a risk of a lurch to the right.

      I consider myself more left however I notice a tone of condescension that I feel does more harm than good. I feel balance, and open conversation is a great tool that’s overlooked in communities.

      Ignoring the voices in the community comes at a peril.

        So, what you’re saying is literally “let’s listen to nazis and compromise with them”?

        Setting the moral repercussions aside, this never works out well politically. Nazis will not stop from voting for the nazi party just because you implemented a couple of their policies, and the rest will be disenfranchised because there’s less incentive to vote when all parties are doing pretty much the same stuff.
