Not surprising, white nationalist movements were always there but only somewhat recently they stopped using extreme rhetoric in order to get more supporters, and it’s super effective. Nowadays you have even mildly exclusionary people who wouldn’t have supported white nationalists spout anti-immigration nonsense online and irl, voting for the far-right thinking they’re solving some issue that doesn’t really exist in reality and is massively overblown.
The world is going back to authoritarianism.
Yeah, though there’s also the phenomena of older folks generally being more against change and clinging in the past more, the idea being that you have less future to look forward to (since you’re closer to death than your birth) so instead you look towards the past and become nostalgic about it.
