The Far Right is rising EVERYWHERE. Before criticizing America, they should realize that we’re just the canary in the coalmine, and they should take care of their own countries, because THEY are next. They should be rooting for the Left to take back America, because that’s what they have to do in their own countries, too.
Besides, wishing for America’s demise is stupid. The economies of every country in the world is tied directly or indirectly to the American economy. If America truly collapses, it will bring down the entire world. Like it or not, it’s the TRUTH.
Oh, the Swedish Democrats party? Yeah, they’re cool with gay people existing, but think marriage certification should be allowed to be denied on a case by case basis. They also hate foreigners and trans people.
I’m not endorsing SD, I fucking hate them. I’m just saying that there’s a world of difference between the far right in many European countries, compared to the far right in the USA.
They say they do (except the LGBTQ+ part, I don’t really see that) , but they actually don’t. They make wild promises (with no plans), only to then “realise” that it’s harder than they though.
They just say that to make them more palatable and undermine actual left wing parties. The amount of times I’ve heard from far-right voters in my country that the difference between their far right party and the socialist party is really small and that they are “economically pretty left”, is insane.
The suck, I’m just saying the Overton window in much of Europe isn’t really comparable to the discourse in the USA. It would be instant suicide for them to even appear as though they want to limit free health care, abortion or gay rights.
They got rid of a really competent (not praise from me, just an assessment) top politician over her resistance against the right to free abortions. That’s where Sweden’s far right is.
Calling other people’s opinions stupid is rich coming from the country that elected Donald Trump…
Twice…

Our far right wants free health care, free dental, HBTQIA+ rights and higher pensions.
For now. They’ll say anything to get elected, then they’ll enact their bullshit plans.

Sure they do.
Why the everloving fuck wouldn’t they? Sweden’s far right is wayyyyy left of the DNC.

You should readjust your irony detector.
Somehow I doubt that…
