I'm not surprised we're starting to see this happen in Europe, and it'll happen in more countries yet. The far-right have become really savvy in marketing themselves to the working and middle classes, by co-opting traditionally leftist language of "rights" and "freedoms".
It's all "freedom" and "rights" until they get into power and start throwing the people who supported them under the bus, naturally. I wish more people could see through the bullshit.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
