For 73% of French people, the United States is no longer an ally of France
Selon un sondage réalisé par l'institut Elabe pour BFMTV et publié ce mardi 4 mars, une majorité de Français ont été "choqués" par l'altercation à la Maison Blanche entre Donald Trump, qu'ils jugent responsable, et Volodymyr Zelensky, dont ils ont une bonne image. 64% craignent également que le...

That's crazy to me that America has changed so much that a nation they freed from Nazi control cannot consider the USA an ally any more because of the fascist ideology the trump administration is showing to the world. This all happened in like 2 months time. This is just the beginning and I don't see things getting better at all.
It's so much worse for the US
France was our first ally. After the revolutionary war, France was the first to recognize us as a country.

It's not just two months.
Second gulf war, France and Germany not joining in although our soldiers were dying in Afghanistan after the US declared Article 5. US government "that is old Europe, they don't matter". US people "we should bomb Germany back into the stone age". That's when my generation became anti-US.
The conservative propaganda machine has been replacing empathy with cold-hard individualism for going on 50-years. Everything is a wedge issue and if it shouldn't be, it'll be made one. We like to make comparisons to the rise of fascism in the 1930s, but the tools, methods, and reach of today's tech makes that time feel like it took root through fortune cookies in comparison.
I don't know how we can hope to deprogram some of these people.
