Why MAGA sees the EU as an enemy at the Moment

⭐ The American 🇺🇸 far-right isn’t angry at Europe because of migration or free speech.

They’re angry because Europe disproves their worldview.

🇪🇺 Europe is the proof that civilisation doesn’t need cruelty to survive.

Europe became the living proof that right-wing culture panic is nonsense.

Europe -especially EU – commits the cardinal sin in MAGA world:

👉 It shows you can have

🇪🇺welfare states

🇪🇺 public healthcare

🇪🇺workers’ rights

🇪🇺strong regulations

🇪🇺climate protections

🇪🇺secularism

and still have higher life expectancy, lower crime, fewer guns, better schools, and more stable societies.

This embarrasses the US Right.

It exposes the lie at the heart of MAGA ideology: that social democracy = decline.

So they must manufacture a myth of “civilisational collapse” to defend American exceptionalism.

🧵

Europe refused to become America’s cultural colony.

The FT piece is correct:

“Woke” is American and Europe mostly resists it.

But from the far-right US perspective, the real crime is this:

👉 Europe did not join their Kulturkampf.

Europe didn’t ban books, ban abortion, ban drag queens, or turn culture wars into national identity.

Europe said:

“Thanks, but we’re actually fine.”

MAGA takes this as betrayal.

Modern Europe proves that diversity doesn’t destroy nations.

The MAGA worldview depends on the belief that:

Migration = chaos

Diversity = decay

Muslims = civilisational doom.

If Europe remains stable, wealthy, and functional despite large Muslim populations, the entire MAGA narrative collapses.

So they invent a fantasy Europe that is:

•collapsing

•burning

•invaded

•dying

Propaganda every night on Fox News.

It’s not analysis 👉it’s psychological self-preservation.

Because Europe didn’t join America’s wars and learned the lessons the US didn’t.

For MAGA, Europe’s biggest sin is this one:

👉 Europe stopped believing in American empire.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya…

Europe became sceptical.

The US Right became furious.

They wanted cheerleaders.

They got critics.

Europe’s existence exposes America’s failures.

This is the most important point: Europe offends MAGA because Europe represents the thing they fear most:

👉 A version of Western civilisation that didn’t break itself.

Europe did not:

•deregulate its economy into oligarchy

•hand its politics to billionaires

•turn healthcare into a profit engine

•collapse its unions

•privatise everything

•arm its population to the teeth

•allow religion to dictate policy

Europe is “Western civilisation” without America’s wounds.

And that is unbearable to people who need the US to be the pinnacle of civilisation.

The attack on Europe is displaced rage about America’s internal collapse.

MAGA doesn’t hate Europe –

MAGA hates what America has become, and Europe is the mirror they cannot bear to look into.

This is projection.

Europe is the whipping boy for problems created entirely in the US.

When MAGA says:

“Europe has lost its civilisation!”

they really mean:

“We lost ours, and someone else must be blamed.”

And now, under Trump and Bannon, Europe has become a spoil in their civilisational war.

Europe now represents:

•the liberal world order Trump wants to destroy

•the regulatory model corporate America wants dismantled

•the multilateralism Bannon sees as Satanic

•the social democracy that contradicts the authoritarian sovereign-individual ideology

•the geopolitical constraint stopping Trump’s Russia tilt

Europe is not being criticised.

Europe is being targeted.

Bannon said it explicitly:

“We must destroy the European Union.”

The new US National Security Strategy simply launders the same idea in official language.
