Why do evil right wing fascists always win elections - if not now, then in the near future?
* Trump getting voted in office.
What are his fascist policies?
* Turkish Erdogan voted by the general turkish population in- and outside of Turkey, to become a dictator.
Dictators aren't automatically "fascist" or "right-wing", such as Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.
* Hungary's Orban abolishing several democratic institutions and principles in a EU-country.
What was abolished?
* British vote to first leave EU, then re-electing the Tories and win no-confidence vote.
How is leaving the EU "fascist"? That's governmental downsizing, and as far as I'm aware of historically, doesn't have anything specifically to do with a political ideology (e.x. Quebec nearly voted in referendum to leave Canada, for example, and I don't believe it had anything to do with "facsim").
So you're saying a "Tory" or conservative is the same as a "fascist"?
What is it with Right Wing Fascism that makes it so much more popular than say left-wing liberalism?
How are you defining "left-wing liberalism", and what's the difference between it and "right wing liberalism", as opposed to "right wing fascism"?
Or to put it in another saying:
Why do evil people always win in this god-forsaken world?
If they actually did in reality, which I'm confident they don't, then everything "good" would already be gone; since your concerns are about things you believe to be "good" potentially being gone, but not already gone, then obviously they don't always "win", or fascism would not be a "potential" scenario, it would already be the status quo.
Remember that Hitler, Mussolini and Franco enjoyed enourmous popularity even after WW2.
Several polls were made in the years 1946-1960 showing that Hitler enjoyed support from 50+ % of the German population.
No wonder why fascism persists even to this day. But I do wonder, why is Fascism so popular?
Most likely because it's an abused term that has lost any meaning or significance (e.x. if, to the "radical left", anyone an inch to the right of Maximillian Robespierre is automatically a "fascist", then no remotely sane or well-adjusted normal person will take the term seriously anymore, nor "Nazi").
