Note that FT is a european newspaper, hence it is very common with 
the Trump is satan narrative.

I think the only "right" country in europe is probably switzerland and a 
few countries in eastern europe. In those countries newspapers you will 
read about what faults of the democrats.

As for the prediction I don't think it is unfeasible that there will be 
bigger moves to more freedom-oriented states. If any of those states will 
then choose to disregard the central government, it will become very 
interesting to see what will happen.

I very much doubt they will send military men against their own, that will 
only makes things worse.
