I just don’t see how the far right can rise or how they can win. The odds are so stacked against them. Is this something to actually be worried about ?

The reason I ask this is because I am a leftist and if your using lemmy I am going to assume you are to. I feel like this “the far right is rising” narrative is an attempt by the neo liberal establishment to trick class focused leftist into supporting the status quo as a bulwark against a far right rise.

    The legitimately simple answer to your questions are that the left are fearful of guns and everywhere they live they have successfully restricted ownership to them by either making them prohibitively too expensive to own or devise a culture of fear to deter purchasing or training with firearms.

    Meanwhile, right wing crazies are significantly more armed than you, do not have a culture of fear of firearms, in fact promote training with them to ensure competence.

    Who do you truly think will win in a fight? An unarmed liberal hopeful the cops & military are on their side, or armed right winger MAGA crazy rednecks?
