      It’s not idiots multiplying. The majority of the voting public in developed countries is left-leaning. The right just know how to gerrymander the system better, and to make their media pundits more vocal

        I don’t think gerrymandering alone can account for most EU countries swerving to the right these last few years. Just yesterday Portugal got a center-left and a fascist to the second round for the presidentials. Looking at 3rd, 4th, 5th… yeah there’s gonna be one more EU fascist president.

          well, you’re right, there definitely is a growing trend too - but I put that down more to media manipulation of public opinion, than general idiocy spreading more than usual
