Alain de Benoist über den Wahlsieg von Donald Trump:
I very much doubt it. I completely understand the sympathy that certain Trump positions can generate in »nationalist« circles. The support shown by Giorgia Meloni and Viktor Orbán is equally understandable. But does this mean Trump should be taken as an example? I don't believe so for a moment, as political life is so different in America compared to this side of the Atlantic. Just as Black Africans are not Europeans with darker skin, Americans are not English-speaking Europeans. The deep reasons for Donald Trump's success relate to realities very foreign to Europe. The role played by an Elon Musk, the place of evangelical Christians (and Christian Zionists) who idolize the Bible and Constitution, the brutal tone of Trump's interventions – none of this has an equivalent in Europe. Lazy minds react emotionally to keywords – immigration, wokeness, etc. – but only see one aspect of things. Any attempt to do »like Trump« in Europe is, in my opinion, doomed to failure. Europeans should rather worry about what America wanting to regain its »greatness« means for us. If it does regain it, that's when they'll be truly threatened.
