Summary
Far-right leaders are gaining globally, with Trumpās victory in the US presidential election echoing trends in Hungary, India, and other countries.
Donald Trumpās 2024 victory marks a historic first where he won the U.S. popular vote, supported by diverse groups including young, Black, and Latino voters, as well as the working classāa reversal from previous elections.
This win aligns with global far-right gains, reflecting voter frustration with economic hardships and liberal policies.
Analysts argue that the far rightās appeal lies in its āpolitics of existential revenge,ā which vilifies minority groups and offers imaginary disasters as scapegoats.
Why do you think another populism is the solution?
Ring wing āpopulismā isnāt really populist, itās masking politics beneficial to the wealthy elite in a way that is palatable to enough people just long enough to gain power and put into effect laws that are highly unfavourable to your average person. The antidote to that is making changes that are actually favourable to your average person. Placing those two different concepts under the singular label āpopulismā is, frankly, disingenuous.
The far right populism is a pseudo populism. Real populists are (as name suggests) for the people.
