I often wonder “what’s fundamentally wrong with Europe ?”. Is it the EU, is it the lack of innovation, is it the overbearing governments? It is non of that, at least not at its core.
Vances speech touched on that core issue that slowly eats away at Europe- and its nihilism. And he was not talking to the blob gathered in front of him, he was addressing the people of Europe. It was a message of hope for the ones that feel Western civilization is worth fighting for. Ive said it before and I’ll repeat it here: Trump is the leader of a movement, not just a political party. And his message transcends borders and can change the self destructive course the West is on. Here’s to hope!
Correct. Trump represents a movement and that is now coming to Europe or rather, it gives direction to the deep discontent and anger that characterizes today's western Europe (easter Europe is a somewhat different story).
Europe's lack flexible governance (the US, UK, Canadian systems enable quicker and more rapid change), over-reliance on the old economy and deeply ingrained bureaucracies. The EU did not bring scale, it added another layer of complexity. The way immigration is handled has also not helped. I am sure there is more but these are the key things that come to mind.

Some 80 years after D-day, the US comes to the rescue again! Different form, same concept.
Vance indeed was right about a lot of things. I have the idea that most media and European leaders didn’t hear “we’re on the same team”
