It's the same in Europe, and it's not so much the rightwingers merit as it is the failure of conventional politics. Rightwingers don't have any concepts. Nothing on the economy, nothing on social security, nothing on foreign policy. Their one and only product is fear and resentment and seemingly easy solutions to complex problems.
Trump is just like all the other right messiah figures rising in the wake of the crisis of 2008 and thriving on fear.
