As they say: it takes decades to grow a forest, but only one match to burn it down.

Judging by the popularity of Germany's AfD party, the US isn't the only one.

That really doesn't fit here IMO. It took decades of bullshit, law breaking, blatant spying, hostile persuasion etc. of US IT being forced onto the world, and without Trump and the fucking nightmare circus that's going on this wouldn't have happened. The world would have kept bending the knee and even inviting all of it forever, it took THIS MUCH to get the world to take a step back and realise that this isn't a good thing.
