Is that rise due to people's genuine connection to those right-wing ideas or a reaction to all the externalities of neoliberal economics? I would argue Europe's neo-fascists are largely gliding on a cloud of resentment left over from austerity measures, combined with the general disarray of many left-wing parties. In the US things are more complicated: we have gerrymandering which keeps the house Republican despite Democratic candidates winning more votes overall. We have governors that were largely propped up with corporate money. The supreme court is large a side-effect of those structural issues (Obama would have picked a liberal judge of the dems had the house in '16)
