Far right is not a change toward more or better jobs. The economic or "just change" arguments are rationalizations, not explanations.

They are rationalisations: 'whatever makes a change to my situation' is a ticket that appeals to a lot of the poorer people, and it of course won't be the Tories or Labour, or their stand-ins in other countries. A huge amount of people alternate between the extremes of the spectrum.

Painting all far-right voters as evil is wrong and unproductive. Saying this as a far-left voter.

Agree. People are lashing out and aligning with view that makes them feel important again I think.
