    Fascism has been on the rise, but I doubt it will take over in the traditional western Europe. It’s mostly Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.
    AfD in Germany is mostly popular in the old East Germany part, and will never become big enough to take power.
    Democracies in Western Europe are strong enough to contain it, they may get some influence, but if they do, they are very likely to fade away again.

    UK and USA are dysfunctional 2 party democracies, which makes the problem much more serious, because people are pissed their democracies don’t represent the people.
