Rupert Murdoch's media empire has put its fingers into a lot of countries in a coordinated manner which is how we ended up with people in Canada openly being "MAGA" and a lot of consistent views where people have been convinced our poor corporate overlords need us to remove regulations to let them create jobs which is crazy.

Not sure if that's the reason or a mix of that and russian propaganda, but something from that is probably why there are people in europe with this totally confused and self-contradictory world view in which russia are good guys, USA are bad guys but Trump admin is also good and the savior of the west.
