Whenever you hear a center or left party talking how they need to drift to the right to \"get the undecided voters\", know that this is only enabling the far-right.<\/p>
If anyone is an \"undecided\" voter \u2013 meaning, potentially considers voting for the far-right \u2013 why on Earth would they ever vote for the milktoast centrist fake, instead of the real fascist deal?<\/p>
It allows the far-right to move the Overton window ever more right.<\/p>
This is not how you defeat authoritarianism: Nearly a quarter of voters in Europe now back far-right parties People are angry, and they have plenty of actual real reasons to be angry.<\/p> Obviously authoritarian right does not have any real solutions, but the center and center-left parties had wasted decades on \"keeping the hot water running\" politics, so no wonder people are answering the siren call of far-right.<\/p> I mean, look at UK. Labour won in a landslide! And then\u2026 milktoast, plus narrative drift to the right. \ud83e\udd26\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-10-12:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/mstdn.social\/users\/rysiek\/statuses\/116804970288743786","object":{"id":"https:\/\/mstdn.social\/users\/rysiek\/statuses\/116804970288743786","objectType":"note","content":" Nearly a quarter of voters in Europe now back far-right parties People are angry, and they have plenty of actual real reasons to be angry.<\/p> Obviously authoritarian right does not have any real solutions, but the center and center-left parties had wasted decades on \"keeping the hot water running\" politics, so no wonder people are answering the siren call of far-right.<\/p> I mean, look at UK.
