As funny as this is, the populist right is on the rise across europe too

Sweden having the SD in their government, germany looking at the AfD getting a shot at coalition..

All that to say our far right (I think right of the dems) are also real and threatening democracy across the continent

that's what makes it so wild, even SD, an all but literal neonazi party, are severely limited in how shitty they can be. if they take a step too far everyone else collectively slaps them across the face for being idiots, they're like unruly children sitting around a table with adults.

Good point yeah. At least so far, lets hope our democracies are defensible enough to suvive this bullshit for a couple more years

at least here in sweden i feel the political system has at least another 10 years before things start going tremendously south, there's a long way to fall if nothing else.
