    Because it’s not “everyone” who vote for these idiots. In pretty much every single country there’s a clear pattern: the less educated and more isolated rural people vote for like-minded politicians, who tend to do a shit job. Then the more educated and less prejudiced urban people get upset and start protesting.

        No he did not. In last elections he got ~35%. The big part of a reason for this protest are actions of coalition parties which got only 8 and 7%.

        Isn’t that what the post your replying to was saying? That outside the ‘educated’ metropolitan areas, people voted for the populist.
