Oh yeah it wasn't an absolute win, but they did gain a lot more seats and in general even extremist right wing parties are now much more mainstream – look at how eg. "moderate" conservatives are lining up to kiss Meloni's ring and/or ass, and she's a literal fucking neofascist from a party that's descended from the original Fascist Party. And then there's the clusterfuck we have here in Finland…
All's not lost, but it ain't going that great either.
Let's hope - and try to achieve - that this is a shock to action, a wake-up call for "a-political" centrists (actual centrists, not the right-wing sock puppets pretending to be) and those left-of-centre that didn't take matters too seriously up until now. The fight is on, but it's far from lost.
