Right wing populism is growing in EU as well. That is also sponsored by Russia but also by Trump/Vance etc..

It is popular because governments are failed to address legitimate issues and gaslight population.

  • But the populism doesn't address the issues either and and their incoherent points will make things worse. Just look at the US for example.

    • Indeed, this happens when you sacrifice public dialog for short-term gains calling everyone who does not agree with your points "far-right", "nazi", "russian asset". There will be literal fascists and people will support them just because they promise(probably bait-and-switch, but does not matter) to address public problems instead of gaslighting that problems are non-existent.
