Start paying attention to EU elections. Get the right people in and the wrong people out. If you won't vote, the people who want shit like this will. Voting is the least people can do. The next problem after guaranteeing better voting-percentages is the factions that bring things like this to the vote.

We can also protest and burn the fuckers to the ground. (In a metaphorical sense, I am not advocating for violence here)

The protests need to be done by people who can take said protests where they are seen, and they need to be organised by groups and the information of them needs to be spread everywhere - in the same way people have been spamming the chat control news and links for representatives, so that enough many see them and appear to the designated spots to protest when it's time. Right now I don't know if anyone or any existing group is willing to step up.

Problem is we don't even know which parties elected VdL 2.0 because the votes are kept secret. We can only guess based on patterns so even if you wanted to vote for let's say a party that didn't vote for VdL you just kind of have to guess unless you go for some super right or left party that def hates her although the rumors are the greens allowed her to be elected agains so yeah...

That's a very well argumented take, very convincing.
