Fear, Not Hate: Why Right-Wing Voters Embrace Populist Rhetoric

The allure of figures like Baudet, AfD, and Salvini lies in their ability to exploit the very real anxieties and insecurities of certain segments of society. Their followers, often those with limited resources and education, feel a sense of desperation amidst economic instability and social change. They are easily manipulated by the narrative of “the other,” the migrant, the LGBTQ+ individual, the “undeserving” recipient of government aid, who is presented as the enemy stealing their hard-earned privileges and leaving them behind.

This fear is skillfully amplified by these politicians, who paint a picture of a zero-sum game, where any benefit given to “the other” comes at the expense of their own wellbeing.… Continue reading

US Billionaires Have Doubled Their Wealth Since 2017 Trump Tax Overhaul

The state of affairs in America is disheartening and deeply concerning. The fact that US billionaires have doubled their wealth since the 2017 Trump tax overhaul is not only unjust but highlights a glaring issue of wealth inequality in our society. The wealthiest individuals in the country have seen astronomical increases in their net worth, while the average American continues to struggle to make ends meet.

This exponential growth in wealth, especially in such a short period, is a direct result of policies that favor the rich at the expense of the majority of Americans.… Continue reading
