More people should read Goldberg’s book “Liberal Fascism” but based on the title, many will pre-judge and miss an excellent read. I am not finished but related to this topic is how wrong so many Europeans have been so often when backing a “leader.” How Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler et. al. were so popular for so long until the other shoes dropped.

When reading reports of other countries disliking a particular US policy or candidate, I have always asked (myself mostly) WHO CARES? IMO there is a distinct link between those feelings of other nations and classic class warfare. Bitterness over not having what others have even though you have nothing to earn it for yourself.
