You do understand, Germany currently is one of the most liberal countries in the world?
Sure. And I consider this to be a good thing as I conotate "liberal" with freedom. You in opposite seem to use the term "liberal" as an negative attribute or even as an insult most of the time, so I am not so sure about your rating here.
So of course they will be quick to say “Trump bad” whenever they can, just like during his first term. Trump is a nazi
No one said Trump is a Nazi. I am a little baffled where in your opinion
he did more out of respect for Europe than both Biden and Obama combined. Make it make sense.
- could you explain please?
The thing is: We use to say "if fashism comes back it won't say 'Hi, I'm the fashism, I'm back" - it will be more subtile. This is why we've learned to watch out early for the patterns that led to fashism, the Nazis and the Holocaust as a consequence. One of those patterns is "us vs. them" in a pretty harsh rethoric. It is populism: (Too) simple solutions for complex problems and focussing to find someone that is to be blamed for all the evil. It is using outright lies constantly, especially about people that do not share the own opinion. It is caring more who says something than about the content and then blindly buying whatever the person we like says while absolutely denying what the opponent says, independent of the content.
We do see all of these patterns with Trump - he even created the term "alternative facts". He is spreading obvious lies constantly - and neither him nor his followers care. In opposite: They amplify his messaging and convert it into pure hate speech. So these are clearly visible warning signs. This is not Nazi or fashism - but it may lead to it.
Therefor I would clearly not state "Trump is a Nazi". Again this would be vastly oversimplification. I cannot even say if it constant lying is deliberately, lack of knowledge and education, stupidy or senility. Possibly he simply does not care for what's true or not - whatever he says
becomes the truth, at least with his followers. Facts, let alone science, have become completely irrelevant for them. Rather are they annoying, disturbing or even a threat. Clearly, his respectless behaviour towards others - to me and many others - shows (along with many other things) sings of a bad character. But that's not fashism. He is egocentric, he is a Narcist, he is a liar, he is a populist and he is a materialistic egoist. But probably not a Nazi (at least based on what's visible now) - still he is a very destructive person and this is what makes him dangerous. The MAGA movement clearly shows signs of a fashist cult. Which again does not necessarily lead to fashism or a new Holocaust. But you see the radicalisation, the disrespect for others, the spitting on the weak and all those patterns of an attitude that MAGAs see themselves as "superior" and worth more than others - and this has in fact always been the foundation of outright fashism. One can see this will all the hate and double standards, the call for "revenge" against people with different opinions than MAGA and the lust for punishing them for nothing but for them having a different opinion. Somewhere between a really bad version of "the winner takes it all" and "burn that witch".
So in my opinion the US as a society have taken a dangerous route here and the fact that you and others are bluntly and radically denying that there are warning signs (and instead constantly say "but the others! They are guilty!") makes it even more worrying. There seem to be no more values in MAGA then "we have the power", "us first, don't care about anyone else" and "we have the right to threaten everyone who is weaker than us and to with him whatever we want" - in my eye not exactly a set of positive values.
What one can surely say ist that from a European perspective the US have become a less friendly society, a less reliable international partner and even changed from being a reliable friend to potentially (or even factually when thinking of Canada, Greenland and Panama) being an aggressive threat to every other country. The new government has decided that whatever contracts, rules, connections and behaviours have been established over the last decades is no longer valid for them, so the only reliable thing is that others can no longer rely on or even trust in the US. This is a logical consequence of the lived reality of "America first" and so within days a lot of trust has deliberately been destroyed that needed decades to built up. Trump and the MAGAs want to set the rules for the world and to dominate it even more as the US did to a degree already but now no longer in a friendly, protective but in an aggressive way w/o caring or even listening to the opinons or needs of other countries but only for the own benefit. So internationally the same pattern as within the US and the US have become a dangerous bully within only a couple of days. While MAGAs celebrate that others see this way less positive (and not from an egoistic but from a global perspective) - and no matter how one looks at it: It will no doubt have harsh consequences and overall I do have my doubts that these will be positive. For neither of the parties involved.
