    Yeah basically either the main stream parties become right wingers or are voted out. But also, why are voters so stupid to not see through this obvious trap. Essentially, it is the right wingers who are “flooding” their beloved “western civilization” with immigrants, for their short-sighted goals. The least the opposition can do is call this out crystal clear on a 10 minutes tact. Hate the immigrants, then hate what’s sending them, not poor displaced people that don’t even want to be here and politicians with little realistic options.

      Desperation. They want someone to do something for them, and with leftwing politics being moribund in the developed world and the only option promising that is the far right. Everything else is ultimately secondary.

      The least the opposition can do is call this out crystal clear on a 10 minutes tact.

      Except the mainstream opposition is also pro-capitalist imperialism. They hate leftwing politics more than they hate fascism, because one is much worse for their donors, so when it’s either or they’ll throw their lot with the fascists.

        Moribund politics is center, not left wing, which is seeing increases all across the west as well. Not as much as right wing, because it’s not well funded, but that’s not intrinsically necessary.
