No, you don’t get it at all.

And stop with these ridiculous “we won’t come.” May I remind you that part of the reason the Second World War started was the cluelessness of an American president, Wilson? He was the one who unleashed the poison of nationalism in Europe at the Treaty of Versailles. Also that Americans needed Pearl Harbor to declare war. So it was in their own interest.

What now is happening in Europe is a reevaluation of some ideas propagated by academics (and may I remind you coming from the United States) on the value of multiculturalism versus a national identity. The problem is that the elites are clueless (not unlike the obamination)… Given that in Holland the electoral system is such that you need a coalition, change will be very difficult. But Wilders is one agent of change. He is not a fascist at all. What he says make a lot of sense in the European context.
