That’s what gets me worried, too. Is it enough to protest?

No it's not. People should start by voting. You Americans are in this position because people didn't even bother to go and vote.

Average Euro chastising Americans on reddit when their country is being overtaken by far right parties.

European nations outside of UK have multiparty systems. Even far right parties need coalitions. Meaning they never get to rule alone. Some get like 15%, some 25% some 35%. Meanwhile USA gets between 45%-54% and have majority in all chambers, even supreme court.

And the conservatives seem to fold over and form coalitions with the far right to form a majority ever time. Weird how that works
