The group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU).

The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures of the EU.

The “closed-door workshop” featured a debate on a new paper produced by the lobby groups MCC and Ordo Iuris entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.

    While I agree that Europe is strong, we should be careful not to make the same mistake as Democrats made twice during their elections and downplay the threat of right-wing strongmen,l and populism. They’re very clearly on the rise in Europe. Everyone has to come out and vote against them. Make it very clear they’re not welcome. I truly hope Europeans won’t take the lazy option. But I also believe they’re smart enough to go out and actually vote against evil.

      Voting isn’t enough. You need to shut down the foreign propaganda that’s creating these movements in the first place.

      Unfortunately this requires dipping into authoritarianism a bit, but I don’t see the alternative. Sedition needs to be dealt with properly, and the majority of these far right movements are seditious and should be treated as such.
