SD leader is the closest we are to Trump in Sweden

Donald Trump is incredibly skilled. Deliberately creates chaos, scenes taken from 18th century revolutions. Then he retires as if nothing had happened.
The only one in Sweden who can compete with him is SD leader Jimmie Åkesson.
What happened in Washington DC on Thursday night is unparalleled in modern times.
The president of the most influential democratic country in the world was not only injured. He was still furious that he had lost the election. So crazy that he organized a meeting in front of the White House and once again dismissed the baseless allegations of electoral fraud, which robbed him of the electoral victory.
The result was amazing, from all aspects. Ignited by the presidential order, hundreds of people stormed the Capitol Hill convention building, where the presidential elections were taking place.
In total, however, five people. A crowd stormed into Nancy Pelosi’s office, sitting with her feet up on the desk. Like from a film adaptation of the French Revolution where the leaders used a non-illustrated mob with more or less success.
But not enough with the. President Trump was suspended from Instagram and Facebook for the remainder of his term as he was seen as calling for violence and disorder. He himself thought it was patriotism. The patriots were, if anything, what called his followers in the meeting where emotions were stirred.
You lack words. It is almost inconceivable.
But then Donald Trump abruptly retired. Like a gladiator who claims to have won the bloody battle.
So what are you wondering? By announcing quietly that he would contribute to a successful handover to the successor to the presidency, Joe Biden, who will take office in 13 days.
And he did, of course, without apology. As if nothing had happened. Amazing.
Donald Trump is expert. And his skill consists largely, perhaps largely, in his shameless use of words. He manages to make people believe that black is white, friend is enemy, a clear choice defeats a victory.
Donald Trump received fewer votes than his rival for the presidency. It also clearly received fewer electoral votes.
But he couldn’t hack it. We are witnesses and we hear facts and statements almost daily that are completely outrageous. If you are not in the same world of video games as Donald Trump.
But it is clever. Otherwise, he would not have remained president after four unlikely years. However, he is not skilled enough to be re-elected.
The Swedish end The politicians who could compete with Trump are Jimmie Åkesson, an SD leader since 2005 and a member of parliament for nearly eleven years.
Åkesson is also good at talking. And if necessary, turn it over. For example, he presents himself as an outsider, perhaps because many of his constituents feel that way.
What a caterpillar. Åkesson is a legislator, has been in office for a long time, has an official residence in central Stockholm and several Säpo guards. It’s hard to get more established than that.
But would Jimmie Åkesson want to use his potential to work in Trump’s direction?
I don’t think so, not anymore. The Swedish Democrats have no longer focused solely on creating disorder. But also in being respected by other Riksdag parties to gain real political influence. One of the objectives is to form a government with the moderates and the Christian Democrats. It will not come true if Åkesson and SD urge the masses in an undemocratic direction.
Just the thought of that he would contribute to raiding the Riksdag seems completely unlikely, almost ridiculous.
But during the first years as a parliamentary party, it was not unthinkable, at least not for an outsider. Then SD, or those close to it, organized veritable email storms against people who they considered to have unpleasant opinions. They should know that SD supporters were watching them, knew where they lived, and a bit more.
Donald Trump’s speech on patriotism and a stolen election victory led his supporters to resort to violence and stormed the United States Congress. The members were helped after hiding from the intruders. Just a few days ago, it seemed completely unlikely. But it was not.
