That's why I said people don't ever learn. It's frustrating. And I'm not merely pointing fingers here - a third of the voting population chose to elect an authoritan party with Nazi-ties in Austria just about two months ago. The Conservative Party once again got plenty of votes too, despite having fucked over many important social institutions and rightfully having been the butt of many jokes. But I guess people never learn. The one time there is an actual upset, it is the even worse option. The world is cooked right now.
(The Conservative Party reigns with the Social Democrats, because coalitions are a thing here as long as they can reach 50% together and no one wants to work with the winners - but it's the stupidity of the voters that worries me)
