There's also the feeling, especially here, that heads of state should act with a sense of decorum and humility. Which is I think more Scandi/Netherlands specific, as Italy or France have had multiple incredibly flamboyant rulers. Flaunting your wealth is not done here, as is bragging about it etc. One of the most Dutch sayings is "Act normal, that's weird enough." Normalcy is strongly socially enforced.


In the case of the NL, I would assume it's their Calvinistic tradition, in the case of the Scandinavic countries, it's probably their collectivistic mindset. The U.S. is a very individualistic country and also putting great emphasis on showmanship. Generally speaking, in a lot of different areas, the U.S. is a country that puts unusually high emphasis on optics above substance.

It always amazes me that Europe "thinks" they know more about the US, than the US does. Simply amazing. LOL

i guarantee you, if the netherlands had a president who tore up crucial international agreements just because they hated their predecessor, if they committed war crimes all over the world, unilaterally imposed tariffs on goods because they didn't know how trade balances work, tried to ban certain countries and religions from traveling there, you would.

i mean, obviously the US, as the largest western economy, former leader of the so called "free world", and military hegemon, had an additional focus on their politics for many decades, as it directly impacts european trade and foreign policy like no other single country, so there is your 'historical reason'. also, europeans are, generally speaking, more curious about what's going on beyond their own country's borders.

furthermore, it's not quite as 'wild' as you may think, because while most europeans that aren't far-right bigots themselves are well aware of what a mess trump is, they are NOT as aware of american politics as the euros you encounter here.

You know what's gross? The way Joe Biden sniffs children and "enjoys them pulling on his leg hairs and jumping on his lap" (his words, not mine).

But for real: I honestly dont think that Biden is a pedophile - but the weird clumsiness with which he talks about these things make for good banter.

Every politician who kissed a baby is now a pedophile but you are tired of cancel culture?

Do you even experience cognitive dissonance or haven't you got there yet?

The Right are the biggest cancel whores there are. Jesus Christ. You guys did the same thing when daycares opened in the US..."marxist child rearing and moleststion centers".

You are always trying to cancel people and things with pedophilia.

Conservatives have literally become everything they hate. They hate false accusations but now they use them for political gain. They hated Saul alinsky but then became him and used his rules for the Tea Party.
They hated big government and are now huge welfare queens. They abolished slavery but have doubled down on its legacy many times including now. You hate the mainstream media but the biggest and the worse media offender is Republican.

You have conservatives like Tucker Carlson and EndlessSky calling for race war.

Conservatives are fucking pathetic at the moment. Trump ripped the balls off the American conservative and are using them as ping pong balls with Erdogan, Putin, Assad, Un, etc.

Hmmm...

No justice, no peace.

The corruption cannot be challenged at this point.

Blago Epstein and this guy. Reall classy friends.

The FBI cannot be allowed to target political opponents. Someday they'll target you. Fortunately I won't let that happen.
