And there goes another country to the Alt-right. It's really disheartening to see a message like this continue to win elections globally.
I get that people are worried their left and centre left governments have failed them, but why the pull to the opposite extreme?
That's like saying you want to put ExxonMobil in charge of combating climate change because Greenpeace hasn't solved it yet.
We've had like 20 years of right wing government and people responded by going more right.

This is what sabor rattling and fear mongering gets you, people are too gullible and scared to vote in their actual best interests because they think those interests are to run to the party that'll protect them from an imaginary evil. Combine that with left-wing governments often being incompetent and giving in to their drama moving further and further to the right to try to win what they perceive as the popular vote instead of properly combating it and a complicit bias media + online shills in their thousands and this is the outcome.
