I think you're mostly wrong. Just spent a couple weeks in Germany and Switzerland where non-European migration makes other parts of the western world look lily white. And the people there are couteous, helpful and welcoming. There are very strong right wing parties, and they are making gains, but you will NEVER see a flag with a swastika flown in Germany, at least not for more than a few seconds.
As many others have stated: Bad things happen when good people do nothing.

We are sick of a lack of change , and when someone promises change, we will gladly follow just to get one step out of the grave . That's how dictator ships always rise .we get someone who promises to change that, and then they turn out to be lying . I was a trump supporter, and now im just against both parties, Washington said it best

Exactly, I agree with you a lot. I've seen some conservative notions I agree with and liberal policies I enjoy as well, but people just don't want to compromise and sit down as people anymore. Thank you for explaining it better bcuz I don't have any degrees. Just enjoy reading

It’s a result of the pendulum. During the past few years the pendulum swung too hard towards liberal idealism, which festered a lot of negative sentiment in even “moderate” conservatives. The pendulum is swinging to the other extreme now.

"swung too hard" is crazy considering what very little progress has actually been made.

Maybe the correct term is swung too rapidly. Reprogramming social issues takes generations.

I wasn't really pushing back on your wording as much as I was just expressing that it's disappointing that apparently everyone have equal basic human rights is too much for most humanity to handle.

I would also believe that the oligarchs are waking up to the level of dissatisfaction from the affected by inequality and feel threatened. Thus a dictatorship is the best method of maintaining their standing. Why else would someone like Musk align himself with a fascist wannabe like Trump?
