If the Republicans don't want to be known as the "I love Hitler" party, they might need to take a stronger stance on large numbers of their members talking like that.

They don't plan to let us vote again*, so they don't care who they alienate.

* They could of course do scam elections like they do in Russia, to pacify dumbshits

It leads to lawsuits not to break monopoly, but to extract money. In some countries money is evil over a certain amount.

It doesn't matter where you are, hoarding while others do not have enough is evil, and hoarding cash (the wealthy currently have unprecedented cash reserves) exacerbates that. We need currency to circulate in order for the economy to function, so we print more money, and therefore the currency hoarders literally cause inflation. We keep hearing about the "job creators" but currency hoarders are job preventers.

With that said, none of that is relevant to whether the EU has the right to use lawsuits to break antitrust which is not monopoly-related. Insisting that only monopolies are relevant to laws which prevent anticompetitive actions in marketplaces is ignorant at best and therefore your focus on monopolies is likewise. But I don't believe you're that ignorant, which makes it seem more like malice.

Problem is though, if you look at all the major economies, the ones with the lowest CO2 per capita have nuclear in the mix.

Having nuclear in the mix is one thing, and "therefore we need to build more nuclear power" is something else. When we started building nuclear plants they arguably made sense, now building more definitely doesn't as we have cleaner alternatives.

A small percentage of Americans could barely get used to cab over vans

Driving a cab over is not hard. We got a diesel pusher bus where you're way further out in front of the front axle than that, and the only adjustment really is turning a little later. You get reasonably used to it in short order. If you don't have to deal with an 8' vehicle in a 10' wide lane (yeah they're meant to be 12' but then there's bridge crossings and such) then I bet it's not even scary.
