Summary
Far-right leaders are gaining globally, with Trumpās victory in the US presidential election echoing trends in Hungary, India, and other countries.
Donald Trumpās 2024 victory marks a historic first where he won the U.S. popular vote, supported by diverse groups including young, Black, and Latino voters, as well as the working classāa reversal from previous elections.
This win aligns with global far-right gains, reflecting voter frustration with economic hardships and liberal policies.
Analysts argue that the far rightās appeal lies in its āpolitics of existential revenge,ā which vilifies minority groups and offers imaginary disasters as scapegoats.
That might be true but voting in fascists (who will make every single one of the problems worse) was the rational response?
If you give someone the choice between change and continuing to be kicked in the ass, they will choose change. Trying to argue that the change is getting kicked in the nuts isnāt a big seller.
Youāre not wrong but people are fucking dumb. It just means weāre all going to get kicked in the nuts now while my ass is still hurting.
