Summary

Far-right leaders are gaining globally, with Trumpā€™s victory in the US presidential election echoing trends in Hungary, India, and other countries.

Donald Trumpā€™s 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 classā€”a 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 rightā€™s appeal lies in its ā€œpolitics of existential revenge,ā€ which vilifies minority groups and offers imaginary disasters as scapegoats.

    Actually here in hungary, trumpā€™s comrade orban is shitting in his pants, as Peter Magyar became more popular than orban in 6 months. (Before that he was unknown) This happenes because orban and his comrades created skyhigh inflation in hungary along with the devaluatiom of the hungarian currency. Actally orban and his comrades fked up everything, and even though they have the most powerful propaganda machine, they seem to be losing ground.

      Itā€™s a lot more difficult to blame things on others once youā€™ve been in charge for that long and shit still fails and breaks down. Thatā€™s my hope for other countries as well, that the continued downward spiral under a right wing government eventually makes the pendulum swing back towards the left. I just hope that thereā€™ll be politicians to jump in once the opportunity arises.
