    Here in Europe, everywhere but the UK what Brexit did was force all Far-Right parties to stop with their anti-EU rethoric.

    Maybe Trump and the consequences of his actions will have a similar effect around the US and possibly further out (I hope it screws the Far-Right around here that most apes American shit).

    However, in the UK Brexit did nothing to tone down the nutty Far Right, quite the contrary.

      That worked for a few years, the AfD wants Germany to return to the Deutsche Mark. That would basically be the end of the German economy, but yeah patriots and all that

        Yeah, in the recent Far Right meeting in Spain they were all back to the whole anti-EU talk, which by their own criteria makes them Traitors To The Fatherland, since none of the EU nations (even Germany or France) is big enough to be able to be able to face the likes of the US or China on their own rather than as part of a united EU front: they literally want to make their nations weaker.

        Personally I think that’s because pretty much all of the European Far-Right parties are being paid by foreign interests.

      Yeah, the one good thing about Brexit was how all the idiots shut up about the EU completely. It’s sadly slowly wearing off though.
