Jumping on Trump’s bandwagon, Jimmie Åkesson of the Sweden Democrats suggested cutting aid to countries that discriminate against HBTQ people. As Göran Eriksson of SvD notes, it is in many cases muslim and African countries that discriminate against homosexuals, so this fits right in with their generally xenophobic rhetoric. Later in his Almedalen speech, Åkesson quoted Sweden’s revered Wilhelm Moberg’s text called Endeavor (”Strävan”) which, in calling for Sweden to unite against forces trying to tear it apart, was written as a call for Sweden to stand up to Germany’s nazism in WWII. Raise your hand if you hear Moberg turning in his grave.
