As the inauguration of the 47th U.S. president draws closer, other western countries have made it clear they are not happy with globalist leaders leading their governments. Political polling in Canada, for example, suggests Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will lose to the Conservatives in fall elections next year.
In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently lost a of vote of confidence in parliament which paves the way for early elections in February.
Gary Bauer, of the Campaign for Working Families, says much of the frustration comes from mass migration that has changed Western cultures.
“There's anger about nations not securing their own border,” he tells AFN. “People are upset about slow economic growth and a widespread attack on our rights as citizens: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly freedom, of religion, and so forth."
Across all of Europe, from Ireland to Germany, the native population has been forced by authoritarian governments to not only welcome tens of millions of Third World immigrants but to abstain from complaining about their culture changing right before their eyes.
The government’s threat to shut up is a real one. A British woman, Lucy Connolly, was recently sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison for a threatening social media post about illegal foreigners.
That is the same Great Britain where a Rotherham sex abuse ring was covered up by authorities, for an amazing 15 years, because the girl-raping perpetrators were foreigners. As many as 1,400 children, some as young as 11, were victims of crimes that went on for years.
Trump embraced by Europe's 'far right'
Trump famously ran in 2016 with a “Make America Great Again” slogan. He promised the country a change from Barack Obama’s patriotism-crushing globalism to a nation that protects its sovereign borders, respects law and order, and reveres patriotism and traditions.
After last month’s presidential election, an NBC News article unhappily reported Trump is being embraced by “far right” leaders across the globe, from Germany and Italy to the Netherlands. Much like Trump, many of those leaders are described as “anti-Muslim” and “fascist” by the liberal news media.
The same article reports a right-wing German political party, Alternative of Germany, is polling second with elections coming in the spring at the same time the current government is accusing the party of “extremism" and is monitoring its activities. A previous NBC News article said the party, known as AfD, is an “anti-immigration, nationalist party which denies human-caused climate change.”
Germany has allowed more than 1 million foreigners to enter its border and seek asylum since 2015, the news article states farther down in the story.
According to Bauer, what often happens in Europe’s multi-party elections is the populist parties get defeated by the left-wing political parties and the more moderate parties.
“The so-called mainstream conservative parties,” Bauer says, “throw their lot in with the Left to stop the populists from having the proportionate weight in these governments as the vote that they received."
People across Europe are embracing populism and rejecting globalism, he adds, but 2025 will show if their politicians are listening to them.
