Interesting though the article is from 2022. Germany has free education and a resurgent far right, so IDK what effect the educatioin there has had.

MODERATORS
All of Europe has a resurgent far-right. And in many countries it's currently at ~20%, compared to 50% in the US. So there's one big difference.
In other countries the far-right is already governing the country, fully (Italy, Hungary) or partly, unlike in Germany (dodged a bullet this time but let's not get complacent).
There's also other aspects besides education that lead to far-right voting, like unemployment and general Strukturschwäche, i.e. lack of all kinds of infrastructure, prevalent in the Eastern part of Germany. Where most AfD voters come from.
And - though by no means comparable to the US - many European countries do have a problem with education.

Trickle down was originally called the Horse and Sparrow theory, because the idea was that if you feed the horse more oats, they'll be more grain for the sparrows to pick out of its shit.
