Do you ever wonder if these things are fixed? Like Brexit in the UK. Not like I know many people but literally no one I knew voted to leave.
What do you mean with "Do you ever wonder if these things are fixed?" Do you mean the stigmatization?
In Germany there is the idea to integrate the right-wing extreme/populist party in a government to dismantle them. They will prove they have nothing to show. Especially, right-wing media wants to see them in government allegedly with this purpose. I have doubts whether they are honest players.
However I don't know what we could do instead.
The Trump victory shows me maybe we have to focus more on economic wealth. However, capitalism works with ups and downs. And there will always be recessions.
I have the feeling we are fucked beyond repair. I could imagine we all go downturn and we repeat the mistakes of the 20th century just again.
