I think the mistake Europe made was assuming Trump's first term was a fluke and that things would go back to normal. But then when he got re-elected and people threw their support behind Elon, it became clear it was no mistake, the US as a whole just has a preference for lunatic authoritarians.

The problem is that this behavior is literally rewarded.
Instead of fixing this, they seem to want to make the role even more powerful so "their guy" can wield an even bigger stick next time.
