Is anyone here from a country NOT called USA where they pile up a bunch of people in the background of a politician who then gets applause for everything?

I have literally never seen this in Europe. In Germany, we'd probably consider this "weird" in case our politicians did that. Feels a bit like clicking the thumbs-up button of my own social media post...

Same kind of blaming everything on someone/something else like Trump rambles about, just much better spoken. You can find clips on YouTube and even if you don’t speak German you can tell he was good at delivering speeches.

We really should show these things in school so people more people recognize it instead of falling for it again and again.

    Yeah, I'm surprised they don't get to see videos of him. He really brought the energy to the room. As a leftist back then this was not a laughing matter. Today with Trump it's an orange grandpa meandering along.

    Steve Miller may be a better example when it comes to fascist energy, but he doesn't bring any charm.
