Even when attempting to write critically about one European country, this piece manages to be both supportive of Trump and insulting to Europeans. (Trumpians have "valid concerns", says Kirchick.)

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
