The idea that right wing Europeans are American leftists is an untrue and ridiculous meme.
- avar 6y agoMost developed European countries have a tax to GDP ratio 10-15% higher than the US. Fiscally conservative right wing parties in those countries typically run on a platform of at most reducing that by 3-5%. If you then take what they'd do to military spending (at most 1/2 or 1/4 what the US spends per capita), social services (maybe a bit less spending, but not dismantling it), the state's regulatory role, fuel taxes etc. I don't think this is a far-fetched assertion.
