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?
It’s mostly [xeno/queer]phobic people who don’t understand politics much blindly supporting the one thing they do “understand”.
Trump, amongst a few others, made it acceptable to have shitty and selfish opinions so all the people who used to be too ashamed to admit how they feel now feel justified and it’s snowballing. The far right were always there but now they can be that openly.
