It’s been reported that in the German elections, a far right party has made ‘significant gains’.
In the UK (at least before the scandals) Reform UK seems to have had a significant boost and has even surpassed the right-wing Conservative Party in some polls/predictions.
Even France, one or two years ago, was threatened with a far-right government due to the French far right party gaining a lot of support.
It feels like in the last few years, the far-right has exceeded itself and had a surge in popularity. Is this the case? And if so, wtf is fuelling it?
The question is what is fueling the insanity of the far right.
Your answer is the insanity of the far left.
Since the far left is not in power, I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Why do you think that the opinions of people not in control would make people support their ideological opponents?
The far left is growing and has gained power in several races and cities in the United States and around the globe.
Though people here don’t want to hear it, the DSA and similar groups around the globe are far left. It holds quite a few utterly insane views that don’t reflect the values of median voters globally.
This pushes people to the center or right, they’re “reactionary” against the leftists pushing failed policies that have never worked in any country they have been tried in.
Another issue is the overton window has shifted drastically to the left, also in part due to activist leftists at tech companies who put their thumb on the scales with respect to censorship/banning/shadowbanning. Culling viewpoints they don’t like, censoring their political opponenents, celebrating the deaths of people they didn’t agree with politically, etc
Normal people don’t want any of that bullshit. They’ll actively vote against the cunts that do that stuff.
