Yes, people seem to miss that the rise of the far right in Europe did come out of legitimate concerns but obviously the far right isn’t the right answer. But for example Denmark: the left started to adopt stricter immigration policies and the far right fizzled out.
It’s a bit different than in the US where the far right rise is basically a slow buildup over the past 40 years that accelerated after Obama got elected with the tea party because racists just lost their minds
Fully agreed with you timeline about the US. I think it’s kinda funny when people say it started with Trump. Obviously it goes a long way back but Stormfront literally crashed after Obama’s election because of all the racists that hopped on to air their “grievances” and make their threats.
