for right-wingers, there’s nothing rational about their political decisions.
I agree. But what we’re seeing is voter migration from e.g. the social democrats to the fascists. Those can’t all be “hardened” right wingers (yet) who are lost to democracy. Otherwise, why would they ever have voted social democrat before? There’s a lot of people who are disappointed with politics and feel that no government ever did anything for them. But they turn to the people who openly tell them that they’ll fuck them over even worse.
