12. They are probably sympathetic because they are dealing with the same

monster of Democracy-threatening populism right there in the EU (i.e., Hungary, Poland, far right resurgences in Germany, Italy, France, Matteo Salvini, Berlusconi, Nigel Farage, etc...).

They are all-too-familiar with what we are facing.
