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?

    I have read it, that’s how I know it’s just baseless conspiracy theory. “Proof”? Sounds like you didn’t read it, just jumped straight to being a smug dumbass.

          You’re like the “reverse paranoid conspiracy theorist” - you don’t believe in common facts because you don’t like them. :D

            “common facts” and then you look inside and it’s completely baseless warmed over McCarthyism.
