Armenia too. Russia is trash. They just want to steal and murder instead of actually work to get ahead. Biggest country in the world, tons of natural resources, no actual military threats because no one is interested in attacking them, but they choose to invest all of their energy into being the shittiest people possible. It’s infuriating.
I think the answer is pretty simple: immigration and the cultures and behaviour that come with impoverished people.
It was the leading factor of Brexit and Trump.
People just don’t want waves of migration and it all either felt forced on people, the problems dismissed and hand waved away, or no serious action taken. It’s a highly unpopular thing and people are willing to swallow the problems of fascism because it seems the right wing parties are the only ones actually acknowledging the problem.
It sucks and progressive parties need to do something about it if they have any hope of retaining their popularity.
P.S. don’t shoot the messenger here, I’m not right wing, I just think this is what’s going on.
