Have you noticed a shift in global leadership in the past few years? There are more far-right leaders are getting elected each year! Why the shift? These 13 reasons are to blame.

Immigration
Some people attribute the rise of far-right leaders to immigration, which is evident in Canada and across Europe. They are disappointed that leftists continue to ignore this problem while “rents spike up, school overfill and overall social-cultural disrespect that comes aboard with uncontrolled immigration.”
Political Pendulum
Also, far-right leaders are being voted in to change governorship from leftists. It’s simply a political pendulum where voters choose the opposite side even when they aren’t better.
“Easy Answers to Complicated Problems”
Moreover, the far-right leaders provide easy answers to complicated questions. And although these answers may not work, they offer relief to voters who feel content that the conservatives aren’t ignoring their problems.
Refugee Crisis and COVID
The refugee crisis in the mid-2010s led to a rise of far-right leaders in the US and Europe. The COVID pandemic has also influenced a similar decision due to the high inflation rates and crimes.
“The Left” Has Failed Spectacularly at Delivering “A Better Life”
This, too, contributes to people leaning on rightists for leadership. They are tired of the empty promises and demand change.
People Feel Like the Current “Establishment” Is Not Listening to Them
By current establishment, people mean the leftists. They are angry that they don’t look up their issues, help solve them, and even look down on them.
The Media Made Many Leftists Look Like Impractically Inflexible Ideologues
Some feel the media is to blame for making leftists seem they are adherent to certain ideologies.
People Want Change
It also seems that the leftists have been in leadership for far too long that people want change. A Latin American says, “The people decide to vote for someone new instead of the same people who have been promising a change while being in power for decades.”
Everyone Is Tired of the Extreme Left
Others are simply tired and angry that the leftists have been in power for decades with numerous opportunities to drive change but inflicted high inflation and taxes upon them, leaving them broke.
False Promises of Solved Promises
The right politicians are also getting voted in because the leftists have been making promises and under-delivering on them. “And if you dare say anything critical pointing out problems, you are labeled as a racist…or whatever,” explains a poster.
The Left Went Nuts With Wokeness and Political Correctness
The general public also doesn’t need wokeness or political correctness, which is what the leftists relied upon heavily. One user says, “The left has been attacking free speech for almost a decade now. That is a dangerous thing. Thank God the pushback is here.”
Corporate Greed
Some also believe corporate greed is to blame for the rise of rightists. They feel corporations have manipulated people into believing we live in a world of scarcity and are on the verge of losing everything.
Far-Right Leaders Often Promise a Return to the Good Old Days
Furthermore, far-right leaders are promising that they can turn things back to how they were two or three decades ago, a strategy that’s winning them votes globally.
