Here in Brazil things are happening the same way. The “right winged good citizen” is currently seduced with a violent and fascist way of government, which is the propaganda of a possible candidate for presidency in 2018, Jair Bolsonaro — Ellen Page interviewed him, if you want to know more about him in just a few minutes .
Brazilians are all traumatized with the Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores - PT), because it was and it still is a catastrophic government — in many ways — so they are fleeing to the extreme right wing. People tend to generalize things, and it looks like this isn’t a problem exclusive to Brazil, but that makes them become puppets easily controlled by the fascists.
There has been a fight between the “left wing” and the “right wing”. The problem is that 98% of the people who buy this fight and keep on punching people on the streets and writing gigantic texts full of hate don’t even know what they’re fighting for.
This is a huge problem, and I’m really concerned about the future of humanity, because everything is going down at the same time, and there’s a high chance we’ll self-destruct.
