Summary
Donald Trump’s influence on global right-wing politics is waning as his association increasingly becomes a political liability.
In the UK, Nigel Farage’s popularity has dropped, with 53% of Reform Party supporters now viewing Trump unfavorably. This shift undermines Farage’s chances of political success.
Internationally, leaders like Canada’s Pierre Poilievre and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni are distancing themselves from Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump’s economic promises have faltered, with US growth forecasts down and stock markets struggling.
The fading appeal of Trumpism marks the end of his ideological hold on Westminster politics.
The thing is that Centrist neoliberal politics is completely on appealing to anyone, and the far right has capitalized on that by fighting an alternative that blows but it Taps into racism so they’re able to achieve some success against competition that doesn’t even pretend to care about you or fight for anything other than billionaire profits. That’s also why Unapologetic left-wing parties can also do well sometimes when not actively suppressed. Even stuff like Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally tour shows that people something different than what we have, and they don’t seem to be too picky about what it is specifically. If we can convince them that the left wing side offers them a better life than the right wing we can beat them
Thing about windows is you can shatter them. Time to defenestrate neoliberalism right through the Overton Window.
