Something significant is happening across the Western world, and it’s worth paying attention to. The same forces driving it are working right here at home in America.
Establishment politicians across Europe are being routed. Not gradually, but spectacularly! In Germany, the Alternative für Deutschland (the AfD) just handed centrist Chancellor Friedrich Merz a humiliating defeat in a regional election. This was the party’s second major win in September alone. The AfD is pro-life, anti-mass immigration, and socially conservative. Corporate media calls it far-right, but its positions would be entirely at home in the American MAGA movement. Germany’s economy has stagnated under its Green New Deal-embracing leadership.
In Italy, conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni just broke the modern record for the longest-serving government in her country’s history. She is continuing a conservative pro-Christian agenda. She recently proposing to ban the wearing of Muslim burqas in schools. In France, the National Rally movement leads national polling ahead of next year’s presidential election. Marine Le Pen has announced she will run, though her enemies are trying to stop her through the courts. They have deployed frivolous criminal charges in a pattern that should sound very familiar to American conservatives.
In Spain, the conservative Vox [VOKES] party has surged in four regional elections this year. In the United Kingdom, Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned just months ago amid net disapproval ratings of thirty to forty-five percent. Globally, the so-called political centrists are collapsing.
The same pattern continues in South America as well. Brazil’s socialist incumbent president Lula de Silva has faced a serious challenge from conservative Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of the former conservative president. All across South America, the socialist left is facing crushing blows and uncomfortably slim margins.
The common thread running through all of this is quite simple. Ordinary people in country after country have watched the globalist establishment fail them. On immigration, on energy costs, on housing, on basic economic stability! And those people are voting accordingly. Young adults who cannot afford to buy a home or start a family are not content, and they are not staying home on election day.
What happens in Europe and South America next year will tell us a great deal about what comes here.
