Europe faces a new challenge: Trump’s America is exporting its culture wars into the EU. From meddling in elections to humiliating trade and defence deals, MAGA is reshaping Europe’s politics. But a new report argues Europe can fight back—with unity, confidence, and its own values. In this video, we unpack Trump’s culture war, Europe’s response, and what’s at stake for the EU’s future.
First, we would have to fight the battle, and it doesn’t seem like our leaders are very interested in that.
I wish they would realize that if they jumped in the ring they would have the support.
These are the leaders we chose… voting matters, so please make the effort to vote if you dont already do so.
Not only do I vote whenever I can, I actively campaign in my circle on the importance of the European elections, there are those who believe that the president is an unelected bureaucrat and I never tire of trying to get people out of their error
At first I thought that’s a bit too simplified. But the video is actually pretty good. An unambiguous jab at von der Leyen for wanting to roll over on trade deals, and onwards. Key points:
“Every time mainstream parties try to out-populist populists they only make them stronger”
“Brussels needs to actually admit that we are in a culture war”
“MAGA is no ally - not even for the new right”
“And that’s the kind of vision that the European Cultural Foundation has been working on for over 70 years”
To get some “historical” perspective here’s a +40yo song about it:
