Europeans Are Gloomy About Their Future

 This news about 2/3 of Europeans believing “the best years are behind us” isn’t a surprise.  They have Muslim invaders in their midst.  They realize they can’t defend themselves without America.  They have rejected Jesus by a large margin.  The majority has gone woke and can’t define what a woman is, and they quit having kids and forming families a long time ago…except for the Muslims who have many kids, some with multiple wives.  Oh yeh, they also are losing freedom of speech and stories of being arrested for social media posts are real.

How much longer can a trajectory like this work?  

And guess who the most joyful folks are?  Those who have surrendered to Christ and regularly spend time in their Bibles.  So what will happen to planet earth when those people vanish?  The table is set for the 70th week of Daniel, aka the “time of Jacob’s trouble”, aka the Great Tribulation.  This period is the final 7 years of men ruling themselves before Jesus returns and rules from David’s throne for 1000 years.

Come now Jesus.

PARIS — Europeans are downbeat about the state of the world, their countries, their circumstances, and the dangers posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Nearly two-thirds of respondents said the “best years are behind us” (63 percent), while 77 percent believe life in their country “will be harder for the next generation, according to a poll by the strategic communications firm FGS Global shared exclusively with POLITICO, which surveyed more than 11,000 people across 23 European Union countries in November.  

The dour sentiment is especially widespread in Western and Central Europe. A majority of Europeans (76 percent) said democracy in their country is in decline.

The poll reveals widespread concern about the state of European democracies and the capacity of governments to meet their challenges, which include war on the continent’s eastern flank, economic and geopolitical uncertainty and growing friction with Washington.

Even before the U.S. president declared he wanted to take over Greenland, a large majority of Europeans viewed him as a negative force for peace, their country and the global economy. 

“It is clear that there is a very, very high degree of pessimism,” said Craig Oliver, co-global head of strategy at FGS Global, who previously served as a communications advisor to former British Prime Minister David Cameron. 

Though governments should be alert to that mood, they can also try to harness it, he said: “It's in those moments, historically, when people are pessimistic that change and improvement can come.” 

Europeans to their governments: You can do better

In nearly every country polled, majorities believe their country is on the wrong track. The exceptions are Poland, Lithuania and Denmark — even though they are among those most exposed to Russia or, for Denmark, U.S. pressure over Greenland.
