is a direct result of left extremism around the world that has run amok. The rise of right extremism around the world would not be happening but for the left taking a hard left turn, fanning the flames of right extremism. It's happening everywhere, including the US and recently in France. France's second largest segment of society has now turned into right extremism and it is now running close to neck and neck with left extremism. But, the left refuse to understand this and the more they try implementing left extremism the more right extremism will flourish and it is aided by the economic catastrophies and disasters that the far left policies bring with them. The left need to take a long hard look in the mirror as to what they have done.
Both sides need to realize that when you win a democratic election 50.1% to 49.9%, it does not give you a mandate to cram your values and policies down the throats of the losing 49.9%, which winds up a breeding ground for extremists not wanting the other side's extremists to win. It becomes a battle of winner take all instead of the 50.1% "majority" realizing that they need to accept that they do NOT have a mandate to force their values down everyone's throats.
