re: #195 funky chicken

Great post. Unfortunately it seems that the authorities in some areas aren’t willing to protect the infidel population from islamist immigrant violence, assault, rape, and murder. Unless and until European governments are willing to do that, there will be increasing numbers of people who follow Wilders and worse.

There’s more to it than that. People like Wilders and DeWinter stoke people’s fears, exaggerate threats, and deliberately play on latent (sometimes not so latent) bigotry. That’s what populists do — they build their support base by making people think the threat is imminent and the end is near, and only the populist can save them.

Please see the quote from a Power Line reader above — Wilders’ exaggeration of the demographic data is a perfect example.
