I just don’t see how the far right can rise or how they can win. The odds are so stacked against them. Is this something to actually be worried about ?

The reason I ask this is because I am a leftist and if your using lemmy I am going to assume you are to. I feel like this “the far right is rising” narrative is an attempt by the neo liberal establishment to trick class focused leftist into supporting the status quo as a bulwark against a far right rise.

    I can’t answer all of your questions, but with Trump I can answer them: One amazing example is he helped overturn roe v wade. He was able to assign 3 of the 9 justices of the supreme Court which allowed them to basically help make abortion illegal in some states.

    He caused the longest government shutdown in US history for what small amount of money, that had already been offered by Democrats.

    He incited a the first real insurrection in US history (even the south didnt try to take over the US, just suceed from the union)

    There’s are just some examples of the problems cuased by Trump…

    Brexit has also caused extensive harm to the UK but I’ll let others expand on that
