yes. but europeans should perhaps also ask themselves what kind of ally US is, with or without trump: on top of what @anandmenon.bsky.social was saying below (interests), there's also the issue of their declining hegemony, which appears to be pushing them to turn us and other allies into vassals

True freedom, @andreacapussela.bsky.social writes, arises when no one is subject to another’s will, be that the will of an employer, Big Tech, or the so-called elite.
'The Republic of Innovation' shows how true freedom can foster a more innovative and prosperous society.

'Europe’s overt submission to Trump is emblematic of a broader malaise...They also routinely placate far-right forces at home. In doing so, they corrode the very values and principles – democracy, rule of law [etc.] – that they claim to uphold.'

Very lucidly, @martinsandbu.ft.com says EU should see public anger at Trump as an opportunity.
After all, anger (at injustice) is the 1st word of our 1st book: Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ

'instead of a class-based society of the old capitalism, we now have an elite-ruled society', @brankomilan.bsky.social says.
Here I argue that we must constrain the power of that elite, to enhance liberty (republican theory) and growth (Schumpeterian theory): www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...
The richest capitalists & richest workers are increasingly the same people, writes @brankomilan.bsky.social @stone-lis.bsky.social @lseinequalities.bsky.social.
Why should we care? Because this new elite is resistant to shocks in labour & capital markets & thus able to hold its position at the top.
