Seriously. How. The Fuck. Are the Far-Right so GD popular like f'ing everywhere?
Politicians rarely help the average person and voters are dumb so they listen to fascists who say they can solve all of society's problems. If the status quo sucks for you then a shake up doesn't seem like a bad thing. I'd be willing to bet that most of this would go away if moderate politicians started prioritizing regular people instead of rich donors.
Lots of people still have old caveman brain firmware that seeks tribal inclusion. The Right preys on those fears and easily wins.
Everyone has a caveman brain that seeks tribal inclusion. More specifically, the right preys on sad and lonely outcasts that have been, or feel like they have been marginalized or abandoned by society.
To add to this, the far right that obtains power knows very well that intelligence, education and critical thinking in the public is a very good antidote to right wing thinking. This is why they attempt and succeed at destroying public education in many ways, as well as pushing anti-science propaganda and emphasize religious indoctrination. All tools to keep people dumb and easily manipulatable.
Xenophobia is a convenient excuse for everyone's problems.
