Yeah, but I don’t think the nutters make up the full quarter of the voting population currently willing to vote for them. Lots of them are protest voters who are just vaguely “against”. Besides, I don’t think it’d be the deportations making some people reconsider, but the sheer economic stupidity of the Trump government as well as their attitude towards Europe. I fully expect Americans to be far poorer and more miserable in 2-3 years and that might do wonders to dispel the myth that the far-right could “fix the economy”.
From my European perspective:
Europe has a handful of upsides. The growing independence is great to see, as well as an increase in domestic defense budgets.
The AfD nutters aren’t reconsidering. They just see the deportations and go “yay”.
