How Europe did actually vote
Sauce Considering that Harris would more or less match renew Europe + Green + S&D, and that Trump would match the huge blue block at the right, I don’t think we’re doing much better than our American friends
EPP is centrist, not far right, and they work together with greens + socialists + liberals. The national parties that are members of the EPP, that I know, are the old christian democrat parties and in terms of the USA Overton window, they would be to the left of USA democratic party. The far right only has about a quarter of MEPs.
"Combined, the three political groups on the right have 187 MEPs, just over a quarter of the total, but they are viewed as unlikely to form a coherent and united bloc. Following the election, leaders of the EPP, S&D and Renew Europe groups stressed their commitment to working together as a pro-EU “democratic alliance”. The S&D and Renew Europe, together with the Greens/EFA, also stressed that they rejected cooperation with groups on the right, including the ECR. "

Would Russians vote for Trump as president of Russia, though?
We don’t get to vote over here, unfortunately. There’s this whole spectacle of ballot casting, but there is no vote counting. Even if there was, there’s nobody left to watch over them as every opposition party member is either in jail or exiled.
But even if there were fair elections, I believe most of the support from Russians in a 2016 election was more of a “haha, watch the US destroy itself by electing an imbecile”, rather than actually believing what Trump’s had to say. So… probably not.
