> The us vs them in your comment feels quasi-political and unfounded. Yeah, I've noticed there's a lot of virtue signaling form some Europeans, especially amongst the wealthier Germans, Benelux, and Nordics who have this "holier than though" posture on how much better they are than Americans(wide brush stroke here) for being non-materialistic (also copium for their low skilled wages), while coasting on generational wealth inherited from those before them. Well if you're so non-materialistic, why aren't dropping the prices of your housing so other people can actually afford to buy something instead of hoping to profiteer from them like those "greedy" Americans? As always, the people lecturing you on how money doesn't matter, are those who already have money. Just like those Germans laughing at Trump when he warned them about Germany's dependence on Russian energy in 2018. [1] They can be so smug and full of themselves sometimes.

I dunno — in the torrent of sludge that came and will come from the Trump administration, how is anyone supposed to distinguish an occasional nugget of truth?

  Easy, you use your brain and critical thinking to process the message separately from the messenger and then do your own fact checking. But that's hard and your avenge person is too retarded to do any such research and it's easier just to laugh at Orange Man while being smug. Like if the Germans would have invested as much brain power to look up where the energy of their industry is coming from and asses the threat of being depended on Russia, as much as they used to laugh at America's big military and at Donald Trump, they'd be in a better state. Anyone with two working braincells knew Germany's position was vulnerable to Russia. Even EU leaders told them that, not just Trump but also Obama.
