Europeans, but same thing ultimately.
It comes from a quote by Josep Borrell, High Representative for Foreign Affairs of the EU:
Here, Bruges is a good example of the European garden. Yes, Europe is a garden. We have built a garden. Everything works. It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build - the three things together. And here, Bruges is maybe a good representation of beautiful things, intellectual life, wellbeing.
The rest of the world – and you know this very well, Federica – is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building walls. A nice small garden surrounded by high walls in order to prevent the jungle from coming in is not going to be a solution. Because the jungle has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough in order to protect the garden.
The gardeners have to go to the jungle. Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means.
Biden would make the US’ failures more poignant, since liberals can’t shove the blame to any orange cheeto or similar.
In fact, I hope they get a supermajority in all 3 branches not only against the Republicans, but also against your Manchin Candidates and Christian Cinemas; with enough power to fight the Supreme Court.
If that comes to pass, I really want to see their next excuses for why nothing is getting done. Kind of like with the upcoming British election.
Give the liberals all they are asking for and watch the despair as nothing changes anyways.
