Because Putin does?
It’s quite clear why.
Same reason Putin does, inferiority complex, self hate, physical and mental inadequacies, mental illness, severe lack of education, absence of class and culture, etc.
MAGA hates everything that’s better than the U.S.
They never been there
Europe has been successful where the US wasn’t. They keep their ultracapitalism ideas that has made the richest country in the world to have third world problems.
EU has proven over and over that healthcare, social security, regulations, labour rights and human rights have created a better society. We live longer, we live better. We have educated our children and religiousity is decreasing and people is better for it.
And, because they hate it, they’d rather destroy it all than accept they were wrong.
Because they hate the fact that most of Europe criticizes them and does things against their wishes
The American right has bad-mouthed Europe for decades. It only makes sense: European economies give lie to the oft-made claim by U.S. Republicans that economies with robust social safety nets, sane healthcare systems, strong labor protections, etc. are doomed to fail. Putin and others are taking advantage of this.
Many of them probably don’t even own a passport and just get spoon fed lies from Fox News and Tucker Carlson
They probably would if they knew what it is?
Because we’re (mostly) democracies and that’s a hindrance to Thiel, Curtis Yarvin and other tech oligarch ghouls who want the world to be their own dystopia where they rule over the peasants.
Because they can strengthen ingroup loyalty that way and liberal democracies are the biggest external threats for an authoritarian regime. MAGA fans also probably like authoritarian regimes and dislike liberal democracies, making it less costly for the regime in terms of domestic support
They don’t like unions.
Because Europe works. US doesn’t.
Because corporate America and billionaires spend a lot to negatively portray Europe. They don’t want more taxes and socialism.
Don’t try to understand ignorant and stupid people
MAGA doesn’t want US workers to realize that they are essentially slaves in the current version of their labour code.
So they paint european countries as failed states communist hell holes and meddle in our politics to get far right idiots who will turn us all into Hungary to make it true.
Because we somewhat value and protect concepts like environment, diversity, privacy and because we prioritise those over capitalism.
Because they are sovereignists, they need enemies to thrive. They also hate us because they cant flood us with their socioeconomic ideas.
That’s it, they just want to expand more and more
same reason russian vatniks do
never seeing issue with own ways+ blaming others for own issues+ messiah complex centered around state (since majority of them have no personal achievements, so state power is their main achievement even if they janitors in said state)+ they have no actual desire to improve they just want hurt others
Europe represents what a prosperous and more fair America looks like, Walkable cities, stronger social safety net, universal healthcare, significantly more healthy food, much better work life balance, a more secular population (this one is particularly bothersome to them) etc etc.
A generalization for sure, but all of which are things most maga morons would benefit from. They however have been conditioned by right wing news, funded by billionaires, to believe all of these things are “woke” “socialism” or whatever buzzword on the triggered right winger bingo card they can find. They are told that politicians like AOC, Ro Khanna and Bernie Sanders are the enemy, when in reality they are the only honest politicians trying to help them and unfuck our political system.
European countries are obviously not immune from the same plagues we see in the American political system but they have done the work to at least prevent the worst aspects of it from entering their politics. Particularly related to our privatization of healthcare, higher education, our strict two-party political system, and the unlimited campaign spending allowed by Citizens United, courtesy of our Supreme Court. Most importantly if European politicians tried to institute these things, their electorates would be furious and would know how to effectively voice the outrage.
I doubt most of them even think about Europe
Look at their ‘hatred’ from their perspective if you want to try and understand it, then challenge it.
Don’t just descend into EU good, USA bad (have you learnt nothing from Brexit?).
There are some valid points amongst the general dross that need admitting to. Defence, reliance on Russian fossil fuels, lack of direct action on Ukraine etc.
I’m going to take a bit of a downvote magnet contrarian opinion here, but based on my MAGA family they don’t. They just don’t care. What goes on in Europe has no meaning to them in their daily lives.
While they find a lot of what goes on here bizarre though interesting sometimes, anything that includes the word socialism can be triggering, and of course they are also social conservatives.
One thing I don’t think a lot of Europeans understand over here is that our politics are so binary and polarized that having strong views on certain issues locks you into one side or the other whether you like the rest of that side or not. Rhetoric like this, and all these automatic assumptions of beliefs behind people who voted for Trump only push them further in that direction.
You’d actually be surprised how many really want a lot of what we have over here too. I have a limited sample size though, so you don’t have to take my word for it.
Because they are fascist who want to see the rest of the world in the hands of other fascists.
I haven’t read every answer here, but the ones I have all sound incredibly self serving, i.e. “they hate us because we’re amazing and they’re jealous”
Cause their cult leader said so. Stop trying to find some complex nefarious reason when it can be explained by simple stupidity. 😀
All right, let’s be real for a moment here.
In a nutshell, I think they believe our way of life is financed by them. Their taxes pay for our security (military, intelligence) and without it our life would be less cheerful and colourful. Stability and freedom might even not exist in Europe if it wasn’t for them. Our world known free healthcare? Nonexistent. Some even believe we take advantage of their market, while we protect ours with rigorous and malice bureaucracy.
The list could go on, but essentially I believe they feel that we owe them. We should be grateful and perhaps even servile. There is some truth to it, but there are also a lot of half-hearted opinions out there. They don’t seem to understand their investment in our continent is beneficial to them as well.
Misinformation combined with envy can be dreadful.
They hate Europe because Europe is a competitor. Their golden age was the years after ww2, when European and Japanese industry was in ruins. They want those days back aka make America great again.
Because all europe hates Maga
Free or cheap healthcare and education. If we are doing things right it must mean they are doing things wrong and they can not live in that reality. It is easier to hate us and call us names
Because we tell them straight up they’re stupid morons and they can’t stand we have a better life than their glorified 3rd world country.
Bonus when they start about socialism i tell them they’re using ‘social’ media and have some abolish their accounts because they are that stupid
It is living proof that their extremist rhetoric is not the solution and that there are better alternatives for people to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
Because they are miserable cretins, and we are not.
Because they strive to return to the 50s when the US was the only superpower because we were recovering from the war. They want that again.
Like Putin, Maga sees non-fascist Europe as ideological threat, as dangerous counter example to the claims that a lot of things simply have to be the way they are in the US/Russia.
Europe wont gargle Trump’s balls. This makes Trump act childish in public. Maga people worship Trump and parrot whatever he says.
I drove by a billboard today, in central Texas of all places, that unironically said “Trump is the greatest president since Lincoln”.
Because we really have freedom and democracy.
