Election in 2008: “Calm down, the far right only got 3%”
Election in 2012: “Calm down, the far right only got 7%”
Election in 2016: “Calm down, the far right only got 13%”
Election in 2020: “Calm down, the far right only got 18%”
And so on…
Can you people really not see a problem with this?
And then what? No party has a working concept. I don’t have one either, so how should joining a party help in any way? Then I’ll be helpless in a party.
I’m starting to blame you for deliberately not understanding me. I ask you what to do and you just repeat that I should do. But what?? How could I be any clearer? I’m not blaming politicians either in this thread.
Oh yea? I don’t see the US deal with their blatant fashism problem. One of the biggest American fashism problems actually wants to get back into the White House.
The far right got plenty more votes in those elections, just for other parties. I think in total this election the far right received something like 3 more votes than last time? The difference is that it’s now mostly concentrated in a single party.
I really, really hate this kind of thinking.

It really depends on your take home message.
If it’s “shit is dire, but it could be worse and we still have a chance to fight back”, it’s one thing.
If it’s “everything is under control go back to sleep”, it’s quite another.
To be fair, the vibe I got from GP was more towards the latter though.
I see the problem with it, but it also means they have not won (yet), and you can work towards the next election to fix it.
If anyone knew how to work to fix it, that would be somewhat calming. Instead this just gives reason for increasing panic and feeling helpless.
Well, the best way to fix political issues that concern you is getting active in politics.
That doesn’t help if you have no idea what works. Describe getting active, please, and how it can fix the rise of rightwing politics.
How about finding the political party you find best, and join?
And then what? No party has a working concept. I don’t have one either, so how should joining a party help in any way? Then I’ll be helpless in a party.
Well, then stop blaming politicians.
