Almost as bad as the worst interpretation of “trickle down economics” I can think of.

Though it’s interesting to note that the whole concept does not get better however you try to describe it.

All of Europe has a resurgent far-right. And in many countries it’s currently at ~20%, compared to 50% in the US. So there’s one big difference.

In other countries the far-right is already governing the country, fully (Italy, Hungary) or partly, unlike in Germany (dodged a bullet this time but let’s not get complacent).

There’s also other aspects besides education that lead to far-right voting, like unemployment and general Strukturschwäche, i.e. lack of all kinds of infrastructure, prevalent in the Eastern part of Germany. Where most AfD voters come from.

And - though by no means comparable to the US - many European countries do have a problem with education.

Wie Florida bei der Sturmhilfe, nur global: alle Hilfeleistungen müssen gestoppt werden, es sei denn ich selbst brauche Hilfe!

Und nur um das mal klarzustellen: man kann sehr gut ohne Eier leben. Die Bevölkerung leidet (noch) keine Hungersnot. Das wäre dann ein etwas anderer Fall.
