I don’t see how that goes against what I’ve said. It’s not about right wing parties becoming more inherently popular, it’s about them taking advantage of the unpopularity of the establishment, and voters looking the other way on moral issues because of it.

That doesn’t imply that the candidate must have morally dubious character, just that morally dubious characters are taking advantage of it.
