"Trump hasn't started openly killing anyone yet, but then most Germans didn't know about the death camps in the 1930s and 1940s until it was too late. The threat here is no exaggeration."
Give him time. He will. Probably when the impossible logistics of deportation become obvious. He's vindictive, vengeful and malicious, he enjoys vicarious cruelty.
The worst part; Germany was not the world hegemon. This time round will be far worse.
"otherwise you'll have Reform in government before you know it."
Sad to say, that will be at the next election. Farage (or his Putinist surrogate) will be Prime Minister.
That is what current polling predicts. Right-wing lies and propaganda have already swayed voters, (as I foresaw) and it'll get worse.
Will we get the opportunity thereafter to vote them out?
I have already come to that conclusion.
Current USA events look likely to speed up China's (inevitable) ascent to global hegemony.
It will be a hard medicine for "Western Civilisation" to swallow, depending on how much China wants to impose it's own culture. We seem to be preparing, by steadily weakening our democracies.
I wouldn't object to outlawing all religion, and China is now the only big power taking climate chaos seriously.
I'm wondering if, or when, Europe will seek closer ties with China. Personally, I now view the local USAAF base as "the enemy within". I don't think that will change.
How will trump and his extremist government be chucked out?
USA citizens have voted him in with dictatorial presidential powers. The Republicans need not hold an election in 2028.
I believe it will be generations before the USA becomes a democracy, if ever. I'm not sure European democracy will survive long, either.

And yes, I know that it’s utopian - and not going to work (for now, at least) - but think what we could achieve if we all pulled in the same direction, rather than squabbling amongst ourselves?"
President Xi is working on that!
His useful idiot, putin, (now his vassal, lol) has successfully divided the UK and the USA from Europe. Xi must be pleased, I reckon the "100 Year Plan" is going well - despite his economic glitch.
We'll swap our atavistic violent squabbles for a stern jackboot.

Indeed, this looks like a damn nasty minefield. Especially with our universal propensity of "cost-cutting".
