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?
If you switch the first two instances of “left” with “US Democrats” then it kinda makes sense. Maybe that’s it?
Even though it is a right-of-center party on the global stage, there are a LOT of people in the US who think the Democrats are literally far left wing, full-on Marxists. That’s what they are told by the people who engage their attention.
