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.

    Do you mean ā€œthe leftā€ as in ā€œUS democratsā€ or ā€œthe leftā€ as in actual leftists? Because actual leftists have been attacked by every government in power of the US and western industrialized nations since before WWII. That ā€œleftā€ has a damn good reason for lacking a cohesive message.
