🚨🚨 What a bloody, shambolic idiot of a figure JD Vance makes. But I am truly grateful for his utterly disrespectful and ignorant speech. It has acted as a trigger of unity for European political leaders now seeing that they have to finally take the fate of Europe in their hands. /1

Musk, Vance & Trump all misrepresent democracy. When they say “democracy”, they mean a free-for-all with no rule of law, where the winner takes all. When Europe says “democracy”, we mean proportional representation, collaborative politics, citizen rights, and agreed guide rails guaranteed by law.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
