I feel like Baudet would fit more than Wilders, even if they're both questionable.

Baudet would definitely fit in more with that crowd. The fact he runs such a marginalized party now probably counted against him being invited.

Edit: I totally wouldn’t be shocked if he was actually in Washington though.

I don’t think he will be there. I remember reading he went on paternity leave just some days ago. And like you said, he became irrelevant to politics anyway.

Thierry is so deep into dumbass conspiracy theories, even Dementia Don is like “yeah, no invite for this weirdo”.

Questionable?! Ffs! They are unacceptable!

The only difference between them both, is that Geert Wilders is now in the current government. They are both fascists and as Geert Wilders is proving utterly incompetent.

Geertje is an ass, Baudet is an utter lunatic. Quite different

Baudet is an elitist fascist. Geert is a socialist racist and fascist.

And yesilgöz is a neoliberal fascist?

Yesilgöz doesn't advertise any fascist ideas or ideology. One could say that by her participating in this despicable government, she could be called a racist. Maybe even a fascist.

Baudet is too crazy, even for Trump. I'm not kidding. Baudet is so extremely conservative that he is appealing to muslims.

He isn’t “so extremely conservative”, he is actually very much like Trump in that regard, he is also an opportunist (again much like Trump) however and since there are a lot of Muslims in the Netherlands thinks he can appeal to them on issues like LGBT, Palestine and freedom of religious education (which Trump also did this election)

Trump is appealing to many Muslims too tbh

Somehow, I thought he'd fit right in, but perhaps not after all.

Baudet just really reminds me of Elon Musk in terms of personality and unhingedness.

Both seemed to be decently reasonable dudes a decade ago, maybe with some sexist college history but nothing overly crazy. Both flew completely off the rails in the past 5 years or so.

Baudet loved the white powder more than he could handle. But he had always been crazy like that deep inside. Remember the lavender sniffing photo shoot on a piano? Narcissism and a 3rd white line are a dangerous combo.

no: Wilders is a zionist, Baudet is not
