Populism appears to be a direct reaction to Global Climate changes

 The move to the right is happening all over Europe partly because of the recession caused by Global Climate Changes. Global Climate changes also made ir more inevitable that something like Covid could arise from China just like AIDS arose from Africa in the 1980s and killed millions. However, now both AIDS and COVID and endemic to all nations on earth and they are still killing (AIDS and Covid) and likely will continue to kill especially people over 65 worldwide and to some degree people over 45 as well.

So, as climate change drives people mostly northward to Europe and to the U.S. and Canada it is making people afraid for their rights and possessions because of all those moving mostly northward away from failing governments worldwide in places like Africa, the Middle East and Central and South America. Though this might also be happening in Asia I'm less aware of how this is taking place except I do know many more people are slowly moving north towards Siberia as the heat increases worldwide and towards Canada for the same reason.

So, it appears that populism and extreme rightest behavior isn't getting better it's getting worse driven by people's fears of loss of personal rights and loss of jobs and possessions like things and land.

I was watching  on Fahreed Zacharia's GPS Public Square on CNN today how all this is changing the politics of Europe a lot right now. So, it isn't just Trump that has changed things it is also Trumpian types the world bringing more populist and rightest points of view into play worldwide. And those most afraid of losing everything that they have are most vulnerable to this rhetoric.
