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?

    Yea it’s because a growing number of citizens are non political, and the ones that are political don’t do a good job at using their political power to help everyone. Populism rises from the forgotten corners of society.

    Here in America, it was NAFTA and a long string of other projects that stripped the wealth in the dignity from the angry MAGA’s.
