      Because a non-negligible number of your neighbors are voting for populist and far-right candidates. These people have support.

      100,000 people showed up for a far-right rally in London last week. Bolsonaro is just now seeing some kind of punishment for his actions in Brazil.

      The source is not trustworthy. There’s a good chance this article is an outright fabrication.

      Just read the other headlines. They are very typical content for publications made by Russian troll farms.
