I think the alarming rise of ultra right movements is because of the failure of leftist governments around the world. So yes, ultra right will come, we'll get tired of that, and then ultra leftists will come again. It's a vicious circle.

Germany had 16 years of conservative rule and still has the fat right surge

For them everything is left

And it had nothing to do with governments getting successful or not it's just social media connecting all the racists that previously where to scared to speak out and now there's proof that 20-30% of people are just racists and probably always where

In the case of Argentina we come from 20 years of mostly anti-entrepreneur left leaning govts that left us with 110% inflation, and over 40% poor and rising.

It's in line with the history of most of South America. Swinging from far left to far right because they both lie and promise economic prosperity while lining their and their friends pockets.
