www.psypost.org
Life dissatisfaction increases support for right-wing populist parties by fostering political distrust and anti-immigration sentiment, according to a study analyzing survey data from 14 European countries.

Survey data from 14 countries, researchers found individuals dissatisfied with their lives are more likely to hold negative views on immigration and distrust political institutions.

    Progressive governments made the normal people’s lives hard - forcing political correctness, ignoring illegal immigration and the issues caused by it, allowing petty crime go unpunished and so on. People are just tired literally fighting for their lives

    Ah yes, all those people literally fighting not to die from political correctness.

      Clown statement…

      Legal immigration is not much better:

      CBO estimated that net immigration was 2.67 million immigrants in 2022, and 3.3 million immigrants in 2023, the highest in its data going back to 2000, and about triple the average rate between 2000 and 2021 (1.05 million immigrants per year).

      I wonder why this would happen… What happened in 2022 that would require a large infux of slave labour?

      It’s interesting how people nitpick on least important things to ridicule valid argument. I was referring to ignoring crime just because the offender was the minority. But since you brought PC to the light, cancel culture has made so many good things to the people…

        Nah, better to sacrifice a twenty year old to weinstein every year, cancel culture would make me have to think about my words before I say them
