I’m just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc… Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they’ve done? What do they exactly like about them?

Aren’t these people seeing a massive drop in their quality of life?

    In Spain the government decided that housing is a basic human right. Sounds awesome, right? But the population voted for its right-wing opposition anyway because immigrant bad.

      Problem is that people disagree on who’s the candy store owner. “Let’s make housing a human right” may look like candy if you don’t fully believe in their actual plans to make housing available at reasonable prices.
