For a decade, many Europeans have looked on the political transformations in the United States with shock and alarm. The rise in incivility, the growing acceptance of misinformation, and the storming of the Capitol in 2021 all seemed to suggest the decline of the bedrock political values that the U.S. shared with Europe.
