It's still pretty scary though. The far right wasn't usually this close to the top. It's like whole political center has been obliterated. Which, to be fair, is something they kinda caused themselves. People have lost trust in the government and are more and more just putting their faith in populists. I'm happy we're at least somewhat matching that with a progressive/left/green vote, but still, scary times.
