Because if there’s one thing that unites all Europeans, it’s making not-so-subtle political statements with fog machines and off-key falsettos, and then voting on the potential downfall of democratic values in three of the 27 EU member states.

So, how did it go? Is humanity over yet? Are we in the good place or the bad place? (Definitely the bad place.)

In Romania, the centrist Mayor of Bucharest Nicușor Dan won a stunning victory over the hard-right candidate and Trumpian darling, George Simion. Dan is known for fighting corruption and being the type of person who thinks before he speaks, which feels slightly out of character for a politician. He’s a mathematician by training, making him the first nerd to ever win a popularity contest.
His victory also made one of the Tate brothers sad, according to social media. Who knew that the manosphere alpha male influencer had such emotional depth?
