And this is what has made the far right (and Trump) so attractive recently. The far right says "No, fuck you!" to pretty much everything the far left says, speaking power which is attractive. And in a country where you only have two political choices, it's always a devil's bargain because the policies of those parties become more and more polarized by their extremist elements.
Most people don't want the far left OR the far right, except they basically have no choice but to pick one, so they pick the one that feels the least like they're being trampled upon and then dutifully demonize the opposition. When both sides are peddling oppression, the people choose out of pain avoidance rather than positive, thoughtful action.
