I am going to ask Europeans to help us in the US to educate our people.

"...Time for Europe to Join the Resistance..."

..."...Europe should begin preparing for a post-Trump America and seek to avoid provoking Washington until then. It can demonstrate to Iran that it wishes to hold on to the nuclear deal and it can encourage mid-sized companies without American clients to continue doing business with Iranian partners. Perhaps the EU will be able to find ways to protect larger companies. Europe should try to get the United Nations to take action, even if it would only be symbolic given that the U.S. holds a Security Council veto. For years, Europe has been talking about developing a forceful joint foreign policy, and it has become more necessary than ever. But what happens then?

The difficulty will be finding a balance between determination and tact. Triumphant anti-Americanism is just as dangerous as defiance. But subjugation doesn't lead anywhere either -- because Europe cannot support policies that it finds dangerous. Donald Trump also has nothing but disdain for weakness and doesn't reward it.

Clever resistance is necessary, as sad and absurd as that may sound. Resistance against America...."

One form of help is to post stories in social media of how your governments help people in ways conservatives stop the US government from helping Americans.

Post daily stories about how your education system, health insurance/care systems, welfare, senior citizen care, drug policies, ...etc. work. Explain why it is better to elect people into government who believe government has a job to do helping all the people to better lives.

The crap from Russia will be repeated on social media. The conservatives in America will eat the crap and believe it. They need to get enough stories showing what government should be doing to help overcome the stupidity they get fed through Pox News and the conservative media.

If our friends in Europe can help to balance the Russian propaganda we have a better chance of bringing America back into line with the civilized World.
