What is the lesser of the two evils?

Consideration A: While the neoliberals ignore the empire crumbling around them and act as if they could still subjugate the whole world, the fascists notice the imperial decline and act accordingly.

Consideration B: European puppet rulers bought into the dem narrative that trump is their enemy. Clearly this was only intended to divide & conquer the people, not the rulers, but the puppets seem to be true believers. This forms a rift inside the empire while trump is the face of it.

A makes the neoliberals the choice of empire power reduction; B makes the fascists the choice of empire power reduction.
