Vance Tells Europeans to Stop Shunning Parties Deemed Extreme

30. I would think that Germany out of all countries in Europe would know what fascism is

I bet you Vance before he became VP never visited Europe. I used to think the US was pretty well educated, but not anymore. Before I continue, I want to disclaim I am not someone who was nor ever would have been part of this organizations and thus, know in the ins and outs of it, but I have heard of it and know how exclusive it is. With that being said, the fact that people in our own government, these supposed, well-educated people, are making stupid statements like this is so ridiculous, they make China and Russia look like they are part of MENSA.

I would like to think that as a government official in a high-ranking position, you would understand the complexities of the world and at least know a little bit of history of the places you are going to. I'm not expecting them to be a history doctorate per se, but they should understand that things don't work the same in other countries compared to them. To expect Europe to just stop shunning extremist parties is incredibly arrogant, especially in a country like Germany, who until relatively recently, was not really a unified country as it is now. Throughout history it had been through numerous kings, empires, the Soviet Union, etc. It would be like if Poland/Ukraine should just accept pro-Russia parties who likely would be against their interests.
