Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

did the tulip people elect him because he was anti-eu/nato? (apart from being violently racist, which naturally appeals to garden people) Doesn't matter, the eu will pull a meloni on him anyway.
we have a huge housing crisis while the ruling party (VVD) has fucked up a lot since 2010. he offers a compelling scapegoat: it’s of course the migrants that leave our children without homes, take all our benefits, commit all the crimes and whatever else you want to blame them for. the current cabinet fell over the handling of asylum seekers and his position as outsider and opposition poses him as the alternative we need to his voter base. he has also been less vocal/more palatable about his most racist views.
what do you mean by this? i'm totally out of the loop here
Death to America
The current pm of italy ran on a far right platform that included, other than the standard right-wing shit, an anti-eu/nato stance. However, the eu/transatlantic types have managed to strongarm her into doing what they wanted anyway

The right wing politicians are also simply grifters a lot of the time, that don't actually believe in everything they peddle.
