What a brilliant update, Lily! Your transition from Balkan politics to these massive trans-Atlantic topics is so impressive. You have such a unique perspective and a gift for making complex politics fascinating to read. Congratulations on the new column and the residency!

Congratulations! Great to see you having such a wide impact. Your writing is a great education for me as someone far more steeped in East Asia, Japan, and Korea.

Congratulations on this development.

I'd like to read a compare-and-contrast of Brexit and MAGA. After all, the post-Brexit election of Trump was met with relief by Brexit fans b/c they then were the second most reactionary voters on Earth.

Thank you!

Love the idea of a compare and contrast of MAGA and Brexit 10 years on from both!

Congrats on the residency! I believe Joining the West was one of the first pieces of yours that I read and then began following your work based on it!
