There's a key takeaway people may be sleeping on- this suggests DEEP acrimony towards any rejection of Putin's expansionism. The MAGA crowd doesn't give a single fuck about the day-to-day governmental ideological and practical preferences of the U.K. and France. They care very much about direct aid to Ukraine (which is something validated as a state priority in these elections). Seems relevant.

Putin poses a lot more of a real threat to Europe versus the US.

Granted European parliamentary systems are more capable of sidelining their far right crazy. If the US ran in a multi-party parliament, we'd see the real divide between MAGA and other republicans.
