GlacialGazelle+FollowEurope’s Rightward Shift Isn’t a Surprise Every time a far-right party gains ground in Europe, the reaction is the same: shock, concern, urgent commentary about “defending democracy.” But none of this is sudden. Years of economic pressure, migration anxiety, and institutional distance have created voters who feel unheard by mainstream parties. When politics stops offering solutions, it starts offering identities instead. The far right doesn’t win because its answers are good. It wins because its questions feel direct. Who belongs? Who decides? Who pays the price? Calling this a “wave” misses the point. It’s not a temporary surge. It’s a response to a long period of political stagnation, where consensus politics left too many people feeling invisible. Ignoring that reality won’t stop the shift. It will only accelerate it. #EuropePolitics #FarRight #Populism #PoliticalTrends00Share
Pamela Marshall+FollowFar-Right Hijacks Christmas Spirit?Wild twist: some far-right groups in the UK are throwing 'Christian' rallies and carol services, but instead of spreading peace and goodwill, they're using the holiday to push hate and division. The Church of England is clapping back, saying this is the total opposite of what Christmas is about—compassion and welcoming strangers. It's honestly wild to see Christmas, of all things, get caught up in culture wars. Thoughts? #Religion #Christmas #FarRight11Share
