What is going on is what is going on in any liberal country. Liberalism is a political system of government based on representation. Everyone must have a representative yet people are more or less represented and what matters the most, segments of population are not supposed to be represented for the rest to work. Everyone has a representative, different degrees in being represented going to down to zero (the woke movement and the hysteric reaction to it is based on it, woke people movement usually are people who are not supposed to be represented, sticking their head out and as by doing that, disturbing the system.)
It is improper to speak a political shift among voters (demand), there is a political shift in the political offer (representatives) When assessed in terms of actual representation, liberal societies work properly for 15 per cent to 35 per cent of the population. Liberalism does not govern through majority. Now liberalism is based on the consent of the governed so this larger minority must acquire the consent of other segments of population through bargains, bribing people by providing them with goodies.
Historically, liberalism has much affinity with anything fascist, Nazi which are the closest political government system to liberalism. As shown by prior events, liberal countries lean toward fascism in occurrences, which is the case today. A solution that matches the wants of the core minority that governs. Now it does not suit a larger segment of the population on the very contrary. So a strategy is to destroy any attempt to an alternate political offer. Additionally, the elements that were used to stay away from fascist solutions are no longer available to representatives. They do not know how to provide stuff that could bribe voters out of fascist solutions. They no longer have the resources. So representatives have shifted toward fascism, any voter who rejects fascism is going to be ostracized and remains to be seen what goodies representatives are going to find in order to bribe the large segment of population that has no core interest in fascism but is ready to turn the eyes away in exchange of a brown envelope.
Taiwan's latest elections have provided a very fine example of the liberal political system at work. This is what is happening in Europe, voters have not shifted, on the contrary, they cling to goodies they used to get in order to buy their docility, except it is no longer possible to provide them with the said goodies. So the political offer has changed, in order to restrict options and serve the core minority that governs in a liberal country.
