2. Don't forget, we don't have Fox Noise here in Europe

So there is no one I have met that has fallen for his routine. Sure, you hear of the odd extreme rightist in the UK, Poland or Hungary who thinks he's swell, because they see a parallel between his stance in Latin American immigration and European coping with immigration from the Near East, as well as Eastern European migration from other EU countries westward.

But there is no mass media screaming rightist lies 24/7 here (yet--Poland is trending there) the way Fox does, so there is no dumbed-down mass of people clamoring for mass stupidity and corruption to take the reins of government. Germany still has laws against public dissemination of Nazi-like propaganda, and a foreign intruder like Fox would get added scrutiny, especially considering its world-wide reputation for distortion and track record of outright lies.
