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?

    Chuds noticing things getting worse, and their leader offering solutions and someone to blame. It’s always been like that. Happened in Germany in the 1920s, happened in the US in the 2010s.

    Now that it’s accelerating, it’s gonna be interesting to see which conclusions are drawn after their chosen ones have been in charge almost the entire time.

      If Texas is any indication, the right wingers just get dumber and keep voting to destroy their communities. 30+ years of single party control there and it just keeps getting worse.
